Adult league's aren't for everyone. I've done plenty and also do HS.

It takes a different approach by the official -- for me its recognizing that we're dealing with men vs boys. I'm 34 -- almost all the men's league players are my age +- 10 years. The players are basically my peers. So I will engage with them, talk with them, joke with them -- Things that I don't do when I'm working a HS game.

Not saying this is true in your case, but in general, where I see officials get frustrated and have problems is when officials try to run these games like HS games. Playcalling, philosophy, etc. that generally makes the game better in HS often makes the game worse for Adult leagues and vice verse.
