Never stop learning. That's why you see some very experienced and capable officials posting here. We're (almost) all here for the same reason.

What's getting better for me is that some things are coming more subconciously, rather than my mind working overtime trying to remember to do everything, such as raise my hand as the trail in two-person when a foul shooter releases the ball or raise it as the lead on a successful last free throw.

However, I understand what you're saying. This forum has helped me a lot. I, not unlike the vast majority who visit this forum, are striving to improve. I'm impressed that so many people give a darn...bodes well for the sport.
