To improve your officiating, it pays to watch games from several different angles. Sitting where you can see clearly from the lead's point of view is a very valuable learning experience. You should try to do this at least once or twice a season, especially in a high-level game with top-notch officials. It's a great way to learn the art of the no-call.
