What do you see- What do you blow

My wife ( who reffed for 15 years to the University Level) and I had a duscussion to-nite. We wondered when officiating a game ,and watching your own area( not following the ball) how much you think you actually saw(%) and how many (%) of fouls & violations you actually called. We would be very interested on the views of this forum.

a.What you saw -%
b. What you called- %

peter,
i do not know about the percentages, but when i break down tape my average is about 5 missed plays per game. this includes violations, fouls, and no calls. the best tape i have seen of my self was 3 missed plays, and the worst is, well not very good. though i think percentages has too many variables unless you just count missed calls when you have a whistle on a play.

(Ed Rush did a statistical on the percentages of the nba refs and on plays that they had a whistle they were correct 94.2% of the time, this did not include the plays where they did not have a whistle)

you have touched on a subject that many people feel vulnerable to speculation. because many refs have never watched a game tape of themselves, many refs only watch a few. in my opinion not enough tape is watched by officials. (nc2a and highschool)
