I believe that there is no reference from D1 to middle school girls. There is no need to reference to anything, other than your game. And the message still is be respectful and not call out the official during the game. Period. You have not gained that respect from any official, yet. Work on it.

In reference to commonsenseref's comment that parents are the cause, I say that the coach is the root of attitude. If parents see coachs riding and blasting refs, parents are quicker to jump the ref. And the kids will follow the coach on the court with that attitude. The coach sets the stage of attitude on the court.

Kaliix, I'm sure you had a tough game, but don't let this one game get you rilled up. The game at your level is for the kids, no matter how much you paid to play. It's for the kids! Keep that in mind and you will have better experiences coaching middle school girls.
