I am not sure if I am allowed to share it, and it's not on YouTube or anything. I'm kinda new to the website.

I do not think you have to look for anything specific. Just look at your mechanics and calls you make and probably passed on. Then say to yourself, "Should that have been called?" or "Was that a good call?"

You can even look at your body language. The tape does not lie and you will likely notice all kinds of stuff that you were not aware you were doing.

All action falls into one of four categories:

1. Correct Call
2. Correct No-Call
3. Incorrect Call
4. Incorrect No-Call

These are the categories that we are reguired to use when breaking down our games for submission to our assignor.

Sean,

Freddy and Scuba Ref gave you a lot of great points. If you have to look at a

play more than three times were you blew a whistle, then give yourself a

correct call (cc). No need to split hairs.

One other thing.....look at your body language throughout the game.

How is it when talking to a coach....

How is it when your partner makes a call....

During your presentation to table......

Good luck !!!!!

Show it to a friend/colleague and ask for their first impression. In other words, do you look fit? Does the uniform fit you well? Good haircut? Smiling or stoic? Robotic or comfortable? Shoulder back or slight slouch? Leaning most weight on one leg or another, or balanced? Goes to that initial instant credibility we hope to achieve when first walking onto a court.

Then, observe all of the other stuff mentioned.

I got a DVD of my first 3-man game today! I am in the process of ripping it, and am considering posting it to YouTube. However, you guys gotta be nice.

Before putting it on YouTube, be sure your association doesn't have any sort of protocol forbidding it. I know it differs in different places differently. Some are very careful about sharing with the general public, others don't care and post it on the internet. Our association considers its recordings of officials proprietary to the members of the crew and the assigner, but on the other hand I notice DVBOA out in California puts tons of games on YouTube for all to see.
Heck, when every mother and uncle in the stands has some sort of video recorder duct taped to their wrists to catch a lasting remembrance of their little LeBron on permanent record, it ought not be an issue. But you might wanna check first.
Just sayin'........
