My Error / Protecting the New Guy

A lot of officials leave the game after a year or two because of the constant berating from the sidelines.

As more experienced officials, we should take the time to help the younger, less experienced officials.

I probably would have gone to the sideline and told the coach that I saw the whole thing, and there was no intentional late hit.

But I know of sone WHs who let the younger guys fend for themselves; "That's the only way they will learn to get tough". What a crock of S***.

We work as a team, when one guy is having a difficult game, it's up to the rest of the crew to step up.

Totally agree! Help out the new guys so they stay in this "awesome profession."
