Thanks for a great tip. As a 2nd yr. it's a part of my game where I no where close to being pleased with my progress in this area.
However, I've learned from reading some of the vets replies to the OP, that it's something that even the very experienced refs can slip into, and that evaluators at all levels are looking to see if you're guilty of doing it....whether they're evaluating newbies like me or seasoned vets.

I'm still working on it, and find myself slipping now and then. One thing I'm trying to do is constantly remind me of where my PCA is. Another thing I'm working on now is, if I see something outside my PCA, I don't call it.
