HMO is an official who is viewed as someone who will not; or refuse to accept reasonable advice.

An official who is told about the samething over; over again to correct.

A waste of time try to educate

Rookie official in our association fractured BOTH WRISTS backpedaling in his first season (2 years ago). Just lost his footing and fell backwards and tried to catch himself. Both wrists in casts for 6 weeks. Needless to say, we stress against it.

Stop and think about the things you can't do with two casts on your arms.

If you're walking backwards, that's okay. If you're running, not so much.

Survey says: X

Never want to back pedal, well unless you just drained a 20 ft jumper with two defenders flying at you. It's totally understandable for players, looks & feels good too
But officials should never run backwards!

In transition from old T to new lead (2 person) I use the side step method for a few strides before shifting forward.

This is the only time you should backpedal.
