Why I hate Rec league

[ref18]

I've edited my previous post to stick a few more points into it.

But regardless, I believe that line violations are something that we either live or die by as individuals, not as crews. Even when I was a rookie back in my freshman year of high school, my partners wouldn't call on my lines when teaching me, but if I missed something like that it was definitely brought up in the post game as something I should look for next time. Being overruled on your own line does nothing to help your confidence as a new official. Even now with 6 years experience under my belt, I still work with officials who feel they have a duty to call in my area, and stuff like that, and it pisses the hell out of me.

There's nothing I hate more than someone calling some contact right in front of me that I judged to be incidental and to not have caused an advantage. And while I won't say anything on the court when it happens, I will bring it up in the privacy of the referees room after the game. The only time I will call outside of my area, is off ball, when my partner has primary coverage of the ball, and I see something not in his field of vision or that I know he missed because he's focusing on the ball. Or a major SHTF situation where something has to be called or else the situation's going to get worse.
