While it's nice to hear (we are human, after all), it becomes less meaningful when we realize that the fans know absolutely nothing about officiating.

Depending on the level, in order for the fans to think I did a good job, I would need to call "over the back," "reach," "high dribble," "three seconds," and "something."

I realize that most fans are not knowledgeable about everything in our rulebook. Like you said, we are human and it's nice to hear a job well whether they know what their talking about. Don't take much stock into it. Only care about what my peers think.

Knowing the rules isn't sufficient qualification to critique my game.
