Like they said, it is good that you want to learn the right way to do things - we all had these questions at one time or another.

I will be working with two guys tonight who will try to do this the wrong way.

They will only try it because I will make sure we put the ball in where it is supposed to go.

I thought you meant they knew better but still tried to do it their way because it was easier and required less effort.

Either way....

Sadly, it is almost 50/50. Some local officials know it and still do it wrong while some don't know they are doing anything wrong. There isn't a training program here. New officials go to the same meetings and hear the same things as everyone else. Imagine how lost and intimidating that could be.
