I'm in the mood

[James Neil]

Before each game I like to revew my list of “Common Sense and Good Judgement Principles” This helps to get me into the right officiating mood so to speek. Here’s the first 10 .

1. If you think it was a foul - it was not.
2. Always be sure of a foul and never guess, as there are no phantom fouls.
3. If you did not see the approach - it is never a clip.
4. Pick up your flag if you realize the foul wasn't there.
5. Don't trouble trouble, until trouble troubles you.
6. Let the foul screech before calling it.
7. Never seek fouls or hunt trouble.
8. Keep officiating after you call a foul.
9. Judgment in the final analysis is the application of common sense, and common sense tells us that extremes are as undesirable in officiating as in anything else.
10. If it didn't affect the play, take an advantage of an opponent, or create a threat to player safety, it is not a foul.
