To reach or not reach

Absolutely, especially if the official does an honest self assessment through video breakdown of at least 50% of their games. Seeing plays plays Jan-Dec while others put the gear in attic after March doesn't hurt the accelerated development process either

No sir, I'm using what I viewed on the play for validation. I am 110% sure of what I saw, but as previously noted... I left it alone. It wasn't a gammer, but grandma in the 5th row saw it
The opinions of the players (who happen to have a lot of credibility with me) just showed that they (1) trust me & (2) know that I could've made those plays right, as they have seen me make the CC in my PCA in those situations.
Even though travels always seem to be a POE the two situations I described are the elementary ones that we should get right.

I had the first one happen in my PCA at a camp last weekend, I got it right, got commended for making the CC

There was a great piece of advice given to us as far as reaching.

Follow the 3 B's:
Be LATE
Be RIGHT
Be NEEDED
