Stay on top of the trash talking and post whistle rough stuff.
I was doing a subvarsity game (Jr. High). The referee was one of those types that wanted to keep the game moving and we let a little bit of trash talking go early. Before the end of the game, we had three kids ejected and both coaches. I think its almost better to throw an early flag then let a game degrade to the point at which that one went.
Second, I let a fan rattle me. It was the game following the ejection-fest I mentioned earlier. Had a little bit of rough stuff after the play (reciever and DB had gone to ground blocking and the reciever pushed off after I broke them up). This fan with a deep blasting voice got in my head, when I tried to assess the penality, I started to walk the wrong way...made me look like an idiot. That fella rode me the rest of the game...
