Call Not Correct vs. No-Call Not Correct

I'd rather miss a marginal travel then call one that's not there. I've always felt that way.

That's it! You're officially old school.

Is it different for more inexperienced, newer officials?

I'm a big believer in the "less is more" philosophy. The only criticism that I've received in the past several years is that I sometimes don't call enough, so I can tell you for certain that I have WAY more NCIs than CIs.

This has worked for me the majority of the time because I've gotten a reputation with the coaches that if I do have a whistle, it was truly needed and they don't bother to argue.
