I'd actually argue that it's far better for a new official to "overcall" a game and to over-apply rules simply because doing so allows you to gain a better sense of judgement. At least if you're overcalling, you are calling what's there and you're applying the rules, whereas if you're letting too much go, it's much harder to go the other way, just like it's much harder to teach yourself the proper mechanics when you've been doing a partial job on mechanics. Sure you'll get a lot of frustration to deal with, but that frustration from the players/coaches will come anyhow, you might as well use it constructively.
