Too good to call lower?

Agree 100% with Tmeup.

It speaks very well of a profession when those experienced in it are generous towards those just starting out. And I think officiating is that way, for the most part. As a first year HS official working JV games, I really appreciate the chance to work with a veteran. And the first words out of my mouth after the game are, "Thanks for your patience out there."

As for mechanics, I guess I don't understand why some officials don't use the proper signals for the level they are working. Aren't correct signals as appropriate as correct application of the rules? I'm not being facetious here, just genuinely curious.

Thanks,

Matt
