I have been officiating for 15 years, and have collected more advice and feedback than I can remember. There needs to be a place to put guidance on fundamentals, lessons learned, and advanced officiating topics so that I can pass on this information to my peers. Hopefully, this blog will be around as a living reference for the 100+ officials in our area, and the others whose passion leads them to read this as well.

Touche
Got absolutely smoked by a coach today. Player from the opposing team did a poor jump stop, where he landed with the quick "thu-thump". I didn't see it or hear it. It wasn't in my area. Coach wanted to tell me about it. My response was, "We don't want to be splitting hairs on travels." Coach response, "Well, you're doing good!" implying that we were certainly letting travels go. The good news was, it was not a malicious zinger. Great retort. I was very impressed.

I believe he said good thing to you about not splitting hairs. Speaking about travels and referencing your lack of hair these days. It was pretty funny and allowed the mood to lighten instead of dwelling on the travel call that he wanted.
