Elementary Question

[Hawks Coach]

If you are in charge of all the other refs, I reommend that you have a get together at some point in time and discuss what you are observing. Treat is as an observation and commend everyone for doing a good job, but let them know what they may not already know - that their individual experieinces currently appear to govern their style of officiating.

Having an open discussion, especially when you have experienced big guys to present the view from the inside and the guards to present the outside view, it might help everyone improve their knowledge and make for more consistent reffing. However, I would note that the inside calls tend to be the most difficult for inexperienced refs. The lesser experienced refs also tend to be less consistent within a game. The longer you ref, the more you see and the more you understand how to make consistent and appropriate calls.
