Not making the call frustration.

Thanks so much of all the help. I am back on the court tonight and I will try to use these ideas. I try so hard to call a good game. I have so much to learn.


Thanks again.

No prob Kevin.

You may want to consider eliminating the word "try" from your vocab & become a Nike man.

Better to leave a violation or travel out there than to call a phantom imo.

Especially if you're reaching from lead to call a phantom backcourt violation.

I'm a first year too and know exactly what you are saying. I had this happen during my mechanics clinic. Obvious travel, my brain told me it was a travel, and I just didn't blow the whistle. Super embarrasing in front of other officials. I determined it was because I was too wound up worrying about this and that and the other. I figured I can see all this stuff clearly when I'm just watching a game (ie low stress), so I just told myself that I was going to clear my mind a bit and just watch the game and let it come to me. It has worked pretty good so far.

As somebody said earlier it gets better with time and games. Remember it's not life and death. Your desire to improve will help you a great deal. Try to stay in the moment.
