Derock, seriously, I'm not taking aim on you. But it really does seem like you need to spend some more time in the rulebook and casebook. Nobody is saying that game sense isn't important. But knowledge of the rules is IMPERATIVE. You must have the knowledge of the rules in order to properly officiate the game . . . .

Well said

I'd add that understanding proper terminology is THE key starting point for any good official. To be the best officials we can, we have to know the rules and THEN know when to apply them.
