I am glad you had fun Larry.

Just remember this was the off-season. Things will change when the seasons actually starts. It took me half a season to get comfortable when working a lot of higher level varsity ball. When I moved to Chicago I was mostly experienced in Class A ball. When I finally had a lot of Class AA games, it took me a little while to adjust mentally. Of course calling fouls were a lot easier, but my mind was a couple of seconds behind the speed and I did not look completely sharp. I compare the jump to what they say happens in the NFL. The play you could make in college has a much shorter span to make in the NFL. Remember officiating is much more than calling plays. It is also about handling situations that do get much harder when the intensity is present. Coaches at this time a of year are more concerned with getting their team ready.

Peace
