Thanks, I'm a long time coach and I've seen this happen. Trying to get the correct call.

Welcome to the board. You can ask all the questions you want, and rely on good answers and insights from the crew here.

However, nothing compares to your own initiative in studying the rules and case book. Come here when you get stuck.

Have an open mind and try to forget all the stuff you thought you knew. The 'real' rules you will learn as an official are quite different. Expect to have your mind blown regularly as you delve deeper into the rules.

Good luck and come back often. These discussions are a great resource, especially for one who is transitioning from 'the dark side'.
