My main point is that I'm kinda getting out of what was a comfort zone and letting 'em play through more, which may be bearing fruit.

I won't argue with that -- one of the phases of officiating is "calling everything" which usually follows "calling nothing." It's getting past those two phases and then learning to make quick judgments of which to call and which not to call that's the next step. From there's it's just trying to improve upon that, which will last the rest of your career.
