You gain experience and learn:
  • what is a foul and what isn't a foul.
  • what constitutes an advantage or disadvantage
  • what rule governs the play i'm officiating
  • be consistent in your application of the rules
iow, you don't need to "remember" if you call the same play consistently.

Like the character that Poppy Montgomery plays in the CBS television show, Unforgetable?

Some of my most memorable moments have been total brain-farts from myself or my partners. I remember these well....and they have stuck with me to the extent that they'll never happen again. We learn by our mistakes...and we can only improve by recognizing these mistakes.

Quite different from a mental play-by-play that some grudgeholders manage to store in their memory banks.
