I think what you want to learn is just something that will just take time....keep doing what your doing if its working and try to keep learning....ask more questions of the subs to understand whats going on........I have some prime contractors who are smart enough to help me trouble shoot problems.....theres always tons of options of how to run the plumbing...if the prime contractor is knowledgeable they typically want to be involved with the process and sometimes come up with a different idea than I have...many times we use a combination of their idea and mine to get the perfect solution (for them).....

I don't think school is going to teach you the same as on the job experience
