Good posts that remind us all why we're out there in the first place...to make sure sportmanship and the integrity of the game is upheld for the players.
Ours is not to wish that at the end of a game that all of the players, coaches, and fans agree with our calls and spots. If that's what you expect, now's the time to do something else.
And, all of us have worked a sideline with a coach that decided that it was his God-given right to work you all night long. If we had the choice, we would have opted for a root canal or something as pleasant.
However, these are great learning experiences and make us better officials. The amount you learn through adversity should not be discounted.
My advice is to remain as calm as possible (easy to say), focus on the game, and use these as learning situations to learn how to better manage coaches and sidelines. The folks who post on this board can provide a number of techniques to help us all better manage our sidelines.
