Good luck next year. I too learn by reading the comments of others, and in responding, I furher develop my own thoughts and philosophy on officiating. One of the nice things about this discussion board is its national character.
Ideas come from different states and regions of the nation.
Let's not get nasty though. There is enough of that on the local boards, where personality conflicts, politics and personal agendas play a role in the posts. Obviously you frequent the coaches board here in Indiana. That thing gets really nasty sometimes. YES, and I also keep tabs on a couple Illinois boards.
