Your comments are exactly why I think coaches would benefit from spending some time as an official. No matter how much you have played or watched football, the game is entirely different when you are officiating it. It is not impossible to do it well but it does take time and experience.

I remember my first play and remember thinking, "Wholly crap!! What am I doing?". The others have given you great advice. Continue to listen.
