I don't want a 3-minute huddle, but a quick "Hey Scrapper, he took a full wind-up" might be appreciated.

Hey Scrapper...if I have an intentional from behind I'm coming in with crossed arms and I'm taking the call. And we aint gonna huddle. And I'm going to deal with the coach. And the phone calls after the game.

That's fine, too. But we both know that there are officials who will defer this call because it's coming right at the Lead or it's out of their of their primary or whatever. I'm not saying that's right or wrong, but if that's my partner and they want to share info with me, I don't think that's so horrible.

This is camp. Not everything that is said at camp is law or should be used. There are many things I agree with and other things I do not agree with. And a lot of what you hear at camp is subject to the level or supervisor that is running the camp. When you are at camp you should decide what works and use it, and figure out what does not work and throw it away.

Peace

Yup, and those officials are the guys with a U2 mentality. That clinician(who was also the D1 league assignor iirc) imo is kinda telling you in #14 that he can find U2's anywhere, but if you want to get hired, you should have the mentality of an R. You're willing to take care of bidness and make the tough call without having to hold a vote on it first.

Imo, just make the damn call. If one of your partners wants to share something with you, he can still come to you.....after.

I think that clinician wants officials who officiate with confidence and believe in their own ability. Fwiw I agree with him.
