Back on the job

[OverAndBack]

Dude, we all have our comfort zone.

I just feel comfortable when I feel like I have a handle on where I should be and I'm seeing everything okay and my brain actually clicks and says "Okay, that's fine....that's fine...four seconds....no contact there...okay, that's a foul, whistle, hand up, get the number, slow, be in control."

Regardless of what's going on out there (and the girls are a little bit helter skelter). I know I'm new at this, but it's starting to get through to me that I hardly ever see players out there, I just see rules. That may not make sense to anybody else, but who the players are doesn't matter much to me. They tell me it gets a little less frenetic and slightly easier to call as the players get more skilled and experienced, and maybe I'll find that out someday.

As for JRut, I can see where some people can get their feathers ruffled, but the guy's been nothing but helpful to me and as far as I'm concerned, he's the goods. He cares about this stuff and about seeing people besides himself do well. In that regard, I imagine he's a lot like the rest of you.
