I am in an officiating class at my school and I have a couple of questions I hope someone could answer for me. 1) What are some of the basic fundameltals of being an official ...

I've taken master's degree level courses where we were required to glean from the experience of those in the field, rather than rely on some stale, static textbook. Cut him some slack, he's doing what he's supposed to do--learn from those with experience.

Are you advocating that even if you are beginning a master's course, you can't learn anything from people with practical experience in the field? Even as an experienced pro, you can always learn from others. That's why I come to this forum.

Nope, not advocating that at all. OTOH...if I know the basics of carpentry it's not likely I'll go to the internet to find out if a saw or a screwdriver is best tool for cutting wood. Just sayin'
