Evaluations

[IowaMike]

I am getting ready to enter my third year of basketball officiating and I have never been formally evaluated by anyone. I belong to an association but to my knowledge they don't have a formal process for evaluating officials. Of course, I get very few games through the association, I get most of them on my own through school district assignors and athletic directors. I would actually appreciate an honest evaluation of my skills. I have worked some soph/frosh games with the occasional very experienced varsity official and have received some good advice and largely favorable comments about my performance, but how honest are they going to be when they are working with you? Whenever I am working with a much more experienced partner, I always tell them before the game to give me any feedback they have on my performance so that I can get better, so I hope that they are being honest.
