OverAndBack Well, I thought I had a handle on being a back judge after working there last year, but after working a scrimmage last weekend under the watchful eye of experienced back judges, I felt like I knew nothing and have to start all over.

Rich Also: Know that a fair catch is dead by rule and don't let anyone try to talk you into a quick whistle in that situation. You are not there to "protect the receiver." The worst thing a BJ can do is blow an IW on a muffed punt.

JasonTX To continue with what everyone else is posting. I would add to never take a play off. At times you can get bored back there, but always focus on your keys and your zone. The time you relax is when you'll miss that "big" call.
