Him asking for help is a good start. Lots of us had the same nerves during our first few games. I know I did. Asking for help shows he cares and wants to do well, and I applaud the guy for that.

I'm not so sure about telling him to "swallow the whistle" though. I didn't blow the whistle enough my first year. I'm still not blowing it enough in this my second year. Maybe he's seeing the play correctly but not blowing the whistle. This is something I still struggle with; recognizing fouls/violations and blowing them dead right there instead of hesitating, saying a bad word to myself and not blowing it because I feel I let it go too long.
