Hats off to our brother officials in Football

Of course I would like to be noticed for doing a great job. If I called a good game and didn't influence the outcome of the game, and go UNNOTICED, fine by me.

The point that many recognize is that you can be criticized and do a wonderful job. And if you are on a big stage like this one or a National Championship game or even a State Finals. You do not have to want to be in a situation and be put there by the moment.

This happened to me in November and all my training and judgment came into play and it was the most talked about play in my game. I had no penalties as well, so not much I could do but to make a call. Believe me people had opinions.

But that's not what you said before. The goal is not about being noticed. The goal is to call a good game. Whether people notice you is out of your control.

I usually put it as: If you take care of the little things before they become big things, you have a better chance of not being noticed for the wrong things.

Well unfortunately in football you can do all the little things you want and you will be put in a situation where you have to make a decision anyway. Unlike basketball we do not get a bunch of calls to cover up the one bad call we might miss. And even if we do not miss the call, there is so much ignorance about football rules we can be 1000 percent right and people think they know better. And the safety in the Super Bowl was a perfect example. There was only one time to get that play right and there were not going to be another play like it probably the entire season.
