After reading through these posts, i've got a few more points to add to my last post.
-All of my T's have been justified, a few have been about the negative reactions of coaches to my calls, in particular there was an instance with a disconcertion call, and another one with a player control foul.
I've had one assistant coach ask me why I didn't make a call in my partner's area, i resonded, i was watching my area for off ball contact, etc, and he resonded, well you should be watching the game. Easy T there, wouldn't you think.
As I said most of them came from rec leagues, and middle school leagues, usually where a parent just volunteered for the coaching job. I haven't set foot on a high school court yet, because i'm still in high school. But when i do, i know i have to change the way I handle the coaches.
My assignor seems to like the job i do, because i am constantly getting a very good selection of games. (At least i hope its because i do a good job, not because he can't find anyone else to do them  ) I've attended camps, I'm going to attend a couple more this summer.
Officiating is something that is important to me, and i always try to be the best official i can be in the hopes of advancing up through high school to college and university ball.

Listen don't take any of the negative posts in this thread too seriously.What I was saying is look at each case and see what happened and why.That is how we learn.I've done enough games at that level to know that the coaching can be nonexistent and they think that their job is to yell at the officials.I tend to be far less tolerant in games with younger kids because if you let the coach go,the kids follow,and why send the wrong message to the kids.
As for changing your ways at the next level,I'd say work on it now.Heck,you may not have much to do,but game management is important.
You have passion,so keep working hard,and always learn from your experiences,both good and bad.
