18. Recruit-train-mentor-protect-retain new officials
Critical mass of no new officials coming into all realms of officiating- nationwide Recruit-stats show that 80% of new officials were asked by another official or coach to join the ranks Train and Mentor: rules, mechanics and pair up with a veteran official Protect: Do not allow coaches and fans badger, berate etc. new officials Retain: keep them interested, challenge them when ready, build the comradery Coaches and officials are no that much different they want to help kids, they love the sport and want to give back to the sport.

19. Recruit-train-mentor-protect-retain new officials
Observations:
We cannot allow new officials to continually make mistakes. If they are not corrected they will think this is the correct call.
Send a veteran to all non varsity tournaments to help the young officials and correct their mistakes and protect them
Build the advance tools quicker such as recognizing stalling and then call it.
STALLING IS YOUR FRIEND
