Heck, Ive been only doing this umpiring gig for three years, two for HS, and Ive learned to talk to just the one guy, the HC. I learned early to talk to the one guy, or your asking for trouble.
DG, you keep talking about TWO, only TWO comments. How many is too many for you? How many til you reach YOUR limit? You must have a number. Is it 3 then? 4? 5? Its either zero, or under your system, as many as they want. You let them have the TWO comments, then the precendent has been set. They think they can make comments the rest of the game. And games after that with officials who wont stand for it. But have to deal with it, because you let them in YOUR game.
I learned early on, and my games go much smoother. As opposed to when I first started, trying to lend an ear to everybody. "Gee, yeah Mr Asst Coach, what do you want to talk about."
Youll catch on someday.
