Ignoring the parent - why is he yelling at you, shouldn't he be encouraging his team to play better? - How do you feel about the game? What can you learn from it? Were you out of position on the fouls you may have missed? How was your positioning and hustle? Did you kick any calls? Why? Were you on the same page as your partner?
Have fun in the upcoming season!

Great points, Christina.
Brandan -- I would have had the parent who was betting on the game tossed. Absolutely unconscionable.
Also, always remember that the observer in the stands CAN'T see more. If he could, we'd work from there and wouldn't need our gazelle swiftness and agility to be in the best position. It's important to keep this in mind, because when a coach or fan yell, you must remind yourself that they have very little credibility, simply because they are "out of position." They can't possibly see the game as clearly as you do.
What your president CAN see is perhaps one or two fouls that you missed (out of position) and how you handle various situations that arise.

Excellent points, the both of yous
. But I do think the guy with the betting comment was just joking.
Not only do you have a better view than the fans/coaches, they are also biased. They are going to want every contact against their team to be a foul and expect any contact they're team creates to be nothing. And the most important thing you need to know about fans, they are complete idiots.
