I have noticed that a lot of older referees feel they must put on a clinic to younger referees. I am a 4th year guy, and am starting to get a good varsity schedule. I have had help along the way, but I have also had older officials try to give me a clinic. I don't understand this tactic. Do older guys feel threatened? I have younger guys than me talk to me a lot about officiating, and I try to listen and help, not preach. Also, some officials think that they are too good for coaches to get on to them. I hate calling with guys that consider themselves great, and put on mechanics clinics during the game. I am all for great mechanics, believe me they are important, but some referees need to realize absolutely no person came to see them, and most people don't have the first clue about mechanics. These are just some observations I needed to get off my chest.
