When I first started officiating HS basketball, I was extremely quick to bang a coach for complaining about calls. I quickly learned that I needed to have some thicker skin.
As I have improved over the last few years, I have more confidence in my calls and in turn, complaints from coaches don't seem to affect me as much. As long as they don't get personal or profane, I haven't really been hitting them with 'T's.
Recently I was observed and it was suggested that I might be taking too much from coaches and I should think about working on that. Does anyone have any advice on defining the "line" that coaches can't cross?
