New college ref advice

[Matt S.]

First off, congratulations! As someone who works NCAA DIII and high school varsity, I can tell you the expectation is that you officiate the game you're working that day.

That is-- HS mechanics in a HS game, college mechanics in a college game. Rules enforcement (sounds like you have that down).

What you may find is that your college games run smoother than your HS games. You'll also most-certainly find that your college games have far fewer people in the stands...really depends on what part of the country you are in.

The good news is that you don't have too many bad habits to break as a 'young' official...and there's no question your assignors will continue to partner you with veterans--you're not the 'R' yet at any level. Good luck!
