Yeah, I can attest that tomegun is one of the strictest adherents to the "stay in your primary" philosophy in the officiating community. Now let me add that despite his being a skilled referee, I believe that this fact has served him very well when he has worked with top officials. It certainly prevents him from ticking off those of them with big egos, and they come away from the game feeling that he is a great partner with which to work who does his job and lets you do yours.

While I won't speak for him, it seems to me that this is one of the biggest reasons that he is on the radar for a few D1 conferences and many other officials aren't. I'm particularly interested to hear if he agrees with me about that.
