Learning the Rules

Rules are big part but will not determine a good official in itself. Working games is the repeat theme and is really key. Seeing plays. We are what our experience makes us; the more plays we see, the better we get a calling them correctly within the rules. So although rules knowledge is absolutely necessary, it's just one piece of the pie. And I like pie.

it's a part of the pie that often gets neglected.

It's necessary, but not sufficient.
