Now that I have about 10 games under my belt I have worked with people who have 1)horrible mechanics 2)neer been to a clinic 3)have only officialed at the local YMCA 4) first year guys. Only one game did I work with someone who was able to make me a better official, he does some NAIA games.
Here is my problem, I am trying on getting a better grasp of the rules, communication with the other official, all the stuff a first year guy needs to work on. Unfortantly, I have faced a myriad of problems, guys calling my line, not reporting the foul to the table, telling the wrong team color on a foul, lining up a free throw at the wrong end, showing up late, mechanics so bad that I don't know what hell is going on. My major concern is that some of these guys are causing me to get into situations where I am starting to get bad habits.
I know that I could have prevented alot of this stuff by helping out my partner, but like I said I am ten games in and I am still pretty green.
Any advice?
