Ball watching

I had some words with them to clean it up (they did because I told them specifically what I was seeing so they knew I was watching).

For some reason this varsity official said I was ball watching and I was wondering what might have lead him to think so. He wasn't very helpful on the specifics of this but it felt a bit like he was just tearing me down. Thanks again.

Just because someone works varsity does not mean they give all perfect advice. No one here was there so we have no idea if he was giving good advice. Take the information for what it is worth and move on. That being said if his basic critique keeps coming up over and over again, then you might want to consider more of what is being said. You did not have to watch the ball the entire time, but maybe at the wrong time. Do not totally dismiss everything you hear, just be aware of it for the future and try to improve.

Peace
