Working with other rookies

[JRutledge]

most officials that you work with are not going to be very good. They are either just starting themselves or they are doing games with you because they are not very good. What you need to do every game is have a good pregame. No matter who the official is, experienced or not experienced. You should run it and if the other official shows some resistense, tell him/her this is mainly for your benefit. Take charge and at least go over things that you should, it will help you become a better official, and it might get you more respect.
