Good officiating?

Besides when every call goes their way, which is a given.

1. When they are hustling to their positions.
   
2. When they are in position all night during NON action time.
   i.e. pre game, time outs, scorers table checking books, foul reporting...
   
3. When I see they are giving me their best effort and following their mechanics, I know they are "in the game" and they'll get the benefit of the doubt on all judgement calls against my team.....
   
4. Presentation...always looking the part.
   
5. If 1-4 are met, rules knowledge and application are probably already a given
