Advantage/Disadvantage talk is making me nervous

I get personal satisfaction reffing them from 6th to v-ball and wounder what happened to those years! As far as being held back, I once had to go to summer school in the third grade! In three more weeks she'll all be over for this year (untill summer ball of course).

Rut, it would be nice for once if you would take a little time to see the other persons view without clouding your thoughts with the typical rhetoric.

Not wanting to take sides here, but I went to my first college camp last summer after my 16th year of working basketball. I noticed that most of the "corrective" feedback made by clinicians involved calls that WERE made. Very few comments were made on non-calls.

Rut is right -- working up means knowing when to keep the air out of the whistle. But if what you do works in your neck of the woods and you don't aspire to make the "big time," whatever that is, keep on keeping on. And I'm not trying to sound like a big dog -- I'm only a HS official in basketball myself and it's more than enough for me at this time in my life.
