Block their view

I'm thinking that blocking their view might be a good thing. But from the sounds of this league... there probably is no formal coach... just a bench of out of shape sluggards, blathering idiocies at you.

And for no pay !!!??? Your teancity and fortitude are greater than mine.

If they become more intense as players and are expecting more out of you, then I would try my best to call a very tight game... possibly assuming certain actions were fouls despite your inability to properly position yourself to see 'everything.' If someone out there thinks it was a foul, it probably was. Call 'em. Makes for a longer game time-wise but a shorter game complaint-wise.
