I wonder if any of my fellow officials can identify with what I am going through right now. I have a real big district game this week- (Two teams in the same district and also both ranked in the top 25 in state)- and I personally feel very uneasy with the selection of my co-official. Not that he isn't a great guy and has good judgement, but the speed and pressure of this particular game may be something he hasn't had to deal with yet. I plan to do a very extensive pre-game, and am going to try and make him relax, and not seem nervous myself, but I am going to "widen my primary" to ensure that the game gets called properly. Is this a bad thing? I feel that I can save face for us both by stepping in strong if he misses anything big. I appreciate feedback from anyone that knows what I'm going through.
