Why are you refereeing if you can't take sh*t from parents. Don't worry about what they're saying, if they threaten you report it. A parent who threatened one of our referees was recently fined $300 by the league. If its the scorekeeper, boot him/her. At the beginning of every game, my partner will go through his team lecture with the table officials. If they don't play into that team, we find someone else, usually someone from the visiting team.
But another thing that's amazing, is that parants can do whatever they want to, but we are scrutenized so badly. I'm facing a complaint because when I called the 5th foul on a player I apparantly said "That's 5 your gone" and the mother (***'t coach) thinks that i didn't like her kid. She fails to understand that I say that everytime someone gets fould out. ALthough in this case, i don't think i said anything because i was the calling official. My point, if we're going to be carved apart for one tiny mistake, then every parent who warrants it should be charged no questions asked.
