Longer than I have been reffing that's for sure. Every time I start to think I'm a pretty solid ref, I do something in a game that makes me realize I'm not all that.

A very long time, maybe never.

Each year at the end of the season I think I'm a great official. Then by the middle of the next season I feel like I've improved about 100% from the previous season and I think to myself "How the hell did I think I was a good official last season when I've learned so much over the last year?"

A good official is always getting better and learning something new.
