Jay,
Sorry, I don't have any suggestions for ya. However, it is "good" reminder that all referees are just human and we go through these situations sometime.
I was at a camp in June and I made a fairly tough call (called a blocking foul) that got the coach up in my face.
As i've mentioned, I'm fairly new to officiating high school ball and some of the games at the camp were varsity games so it was a rather intense experience.
So, point is, after I made the call, i was in a daze for a while thinking about it. I sort of zoned out, thinking about the play and missing some of the action.
My partners (it was a 3 person camp) commented to me that it seemed like I was off somewhere else for a few minutes.
The camp was good, so I hope that if I do make a tough call again, I'll be able to bounce back quicker in the future. Though I know sometimes it's hard.
