What did you learn this season?

3-person officiating is much, much easier (both from a physical and 'see the entire play' standpoint) than 2-person.

Better to work fewer games/days in the season and end the season wishing you had a few more than to work too many games and get burned out. (last season, I worked 120 games combined rec and High School and was completely burned out at the end. This season I worked 84. Still a lot, but I'm not burned out this time around).

My three "things" to work on all year were,

1) patient whistle
2) watch off-ball
3) illegal screens.

I felt I did a good job of improving in these areas...though I did miss/pass on an illegal screen IN MY LAST high school game of the year! Still mad at myself for that one! Dang.

This is a great thread. Thanks to all.

I've learned that not only do we officials have to keep the foul count even we also need to keep the shooting fouls the same.
