New referee experiences...

[beachbum]

I'm in my second year, and i still look back over games and think about calls made or that weren't made, that i would do differently.

More experienced officials tell me that people that care about the game, care about becoming the best they can be and are not in it just for the check, will always do that.

I like to meet with my partner after the game and discuss some of the plays or a situation where i thought maybe I could handle or position myself better. Since I do high school JV or mid school, it is hard as the partner ,many times, is there for the bucks and splits at the final bell.

Each game provides an experience or a lesson that helps us become more proficient in the sport.
