Evaluations...

[Spence]

This is your first review ever?

I'm in my first year and have had 2.

NFHS is the opposite of what your evaluator appears to require.

2-whistle or 3-whistle, non-calling officials freeze their field of vision to observe players until the calling official completes reporting and turns to observe players. IOW, everyone maintains their position until the calling official has completed his duties, then the switch is on.

Admittedly, many (me included) freeze, wait for the calling official to get into position and begin reporting and then initiate the switch before the calling official has completed reporting. Keeping players in view at all times.

Just had my first one as well..

I got "satisfactory" on everything, but was told that as T, I needed to "work the arc" more, and as L to close down more often. I've worked 2 man pretty much all season working the jr high games. ( and have had a blast)

I was recommended for a full frosh schedule with some JV. Is this about the usual place I should be after one season?

Thanks

For Colorado, yes. For southern California, you should be doing Varsity and Junior College next season, D3/D2 after that, and D1 in your 4th year.

BTW: getting advice to work the arc as T more and close down as L more are typical things newbies need to do more of. You're right on schedule.

My question would be did this thing the evaluator make that big of a difference in the entire evaluation?

Remember in evaluations there are things said that do not make that big of a difference. I agree with others that this critique was rather silly, but it is what it is. Take the information under advisement, and if no one agrees with it, then do not use it. Then again, I am not in a world where an evaluation means that much from a local association. My perspective on what to listen to could be skewed.

Peace

For us who weren't around to understand it, can you explain the southern California joke? Or is it not a joke...

In the clinic I attended in my first few meetings prior to working any game, the clinician had a great quote regarding non-calling officials' responsibilities during a foul call: freeze your eyes but not necessarily your feet. That was at the time of 2 person only (at least at that level) but the idea still stands in 3 person: either the L or the C (or the T in transition) freezes their eyes on the players. They may or may not move, depending on the circumstances but to suggest the calling official should wait until his or her partner gets to their spot is absurd.

On the other hand, the calling official should not just make a break for the table. This is a good place to slow down, but not to stay put.

I agree. When I work two-man, I'll freeze my eyes for a moment, just to make sure I have the right jersey number of the person that committed the foul, and if needed, the jersey number of the person shooting the free throws, and announce whether it's spot throw-in while pointing at the spot or free throws and how many. But I don't stand there like a mannequin in the store, and wait for the world to start moving again. I make a slow move towards the table once I have eye contact with my partner and see that he/she got the info needed (shots or spot).
