Take it one step farther. Explain that good is a relative term. Ask them if they have
ever seen refs that did a good job, and if not, perhaps they have slanted viewpoints and/or unreal expectations. (just like everybody else, no doubt including some of their parents)

They also know that next year when they play for me, we are going to put 100% of our concentration into what WE are doing, and 0% on what the refs are doing.

This may be a bit optimistic.
