If I wonder if I've handled a play right, especially if it's a rare scenario where you and your partner look at each other with the "what do we do now?" look, I'll check the rule/case book when I get home. if I see the play was handled right, great. If not, it's a learning experience that I also record in my journal. When it comes to fans/coaches, I have to repeat what's been said here before and exude confidence. It won't stop the coaches from disagreeing, but coaches that sense uncertainty in an official will take advantage of it as much as possible. In my first year (a year ago) I was focused mainly on learning rules/mechanics and focusing on my PCA. This year, I've done a better job with off-ball coverage, calling travels, etc. I've still got much to learn, but every game is a chance to learn a little more. As an aside, this year, I spent the money to order the NFHS officials manual because it covers items our state manual does not. I found that very informative as well. Hope to see more posts from you next season. ![]()
