In general...
...are you more or less critical of coaches and players -- not specifcally the ones in your games, but overall -- since you took up officiating?
(I was going to put "fans" in that mix, but I think I already know the answer.) |
Critical in what sense?
|
Performance, mostly. Does the fanboy in you still come out, or are you more patient with your teams that aren't playing to potential?
|
All officiating has done has made me less tolerant of whining about calls. Other than that if a player stinks they stink. If they are good they are good in my mind.

I guess more critical...too many people use officiating as a scapegoat and I've gotten away from that line of thinking since I started officiating.

It's made me more critical of television announcers. :)

I just hope my mother was wrong about my eyes sticking up there when I roll them.

In general, I'm more critical of stupid questions on officiating discussion forums since I took up officiating. :D
|
I find myself 'cheering' less and analyzing more.
Although, I DO find that I am more appreciative of "creative hecklers" and less appreciative or aware of the typical heckler. |
My fanboy persona comes out every time my alma mater plays. Can't help it.

When I see an official (in any sport) miss a call I focus on and try to analyze why he missed the call instead of the missed call itself.
