Game tonight sucked

[Adam]

You've had some good feedback so far, I want to add that no matter how you feel about your game, you can't let the coach get away with that behavior. That's often a bigger part of keeping control than calling fouls.

The biggest thing, don't be afraid to over blow the whistle. Most officials go through a progression that starts with being afraid to blow the whistle. You think you're too late, but you're not. Don't be afraid of a late whistle.

Adam brings up a very good point about blowing the whistle. Don't let things go because you think that you are too late. I still have to work on this and I am in my third year. You are not really late with a whistle ( except in your mind). I certainly remember that in my first year the game seemed very fast. It does get better with experience so hang in there.
