This might not address the main point that you're making, but here goes. . .

While officials may shake off the rust as the early season progresses, I don't think officials get appreciably better during the season. They're concentrating too hard on the game they're working. I honestly believe officials get better primarily in the off-season; at camp or by working non-scholastic summer leagues.

These are games that, in a certain respect, don't really matter. And so the officials can concentrate on particular things they can improve. It's just my opinion, and it's probably because I've been to camp so often, but I really think that if you want to become a better official, you need to work on it in the off-season.
