Wow...that was eaisier than I thought.

I'll just echo what others are saying. The "better" the level of play, the "easier" it is to officiate the game. I even find game management "easier." What I think many others are referring to in reference to the difficulty of managing the game is the fact that you have to be truly prepared to handle *any* circumstances, including unusual situations, arcane rules, difficult coaches, etc. Confront any of these things without being fully prepared and things could quickly spiral downward.

Most of us, as we improve and advance, have an inflated sense of how prepared we are. Wisdom often comes from experience. And the best experience -- even better than reading on these forums -- is to be on the court.

Best wishes.
