Nothing wrong with doing it any other way. When in Rome...

This is my thought: if you can get intelligent (someone has to be) people to do things that aren't part of what we do naturally - talking to someone - then that may carry over to other parts of officiating. I don't want anyone to do something that I want them to do based on my own opinion. I want them to do something that makes common sense and will help them become a better official.

Also, doing something just because it has always been done that way is something I never want to do. Where would we be if everyone thought that way?
