It almost sounds like you're making up excuses before the game for having a bad one. Try to be a little more positive when dealing with weak partners. It makes for a better...and more enjoyable...game. JMO. Last edited by Jurassic Referee; Thu Feb 03, 2011 at 03:15pm. |

Not making excuses for a poor game - just realizing there will be more pressure on me tonight as the R to ensure we have a good game and to watch everything closely. I usually work with the same partners and never have to worry about things like this. Last edited by RobbyinTN; Thu Feb 03, 2011 at 03:37pm. |

I agree with your view of mechanics. I believe you can "sell your call" better with good mechanics.
I accept the responsibility as lead to ensure we have a good game. I am not saying that I won't take that responsiblity seriously. I was not serious about it really being a GI, GD, and GO game. I take every game seriously and do my best to enjoy a game and help those officials that may be less experienced. |

At some levels, the U1 & U2 may have said that YOU blew the FT sitch. In addition to pointing to the spot for the ensuing throw-in, did you verbally say "white ball, endline?" Quote:
Did his partners have whistles on the AP sitch? A mere whistle could kill it & give the ball to the correct team. Did somebody ask him if he wanted to go with an IW on the 3 second sitch? INTs can be a judgment call... Officials that know better but do nothing to assist the crew of three are looked at as U99s & they are only hiring Rs (if you know what I mean). I embrace those opportunities!! Being the R means nothing more than tossing the ball up & making decisions that we all dont agree on. Make your crew feel like they are all Rs. Lead by example, hell, give your toss to the least skilled official & see if that motivates him/her to work harder, be more receptive & become your #1 advocate!

Not used to hearing vets speak as you did initially, but...
Nuff said!

I heard that! I know how that can be, I am just now learning how to trick my partners into doing what I need them to do.
"I'm not rotating well, what can we do to have better rotations in the 2nd half?" "I'm doing a terrible job of giving you eye contact, will you help me with this?" Funny how switching the situation around & putting it on myself doesn't make my partners defensive & keeps them open to admitting their mistakes.
