As a newbie, this situation raises an issue I'd like to hear from you senior guys how to handle.
Let's take the original post's situation--team is up by 30 and still pressing.
That alone isnt a problem. Might be uncool, but being uncool isnt against the rules.
BUT it certainly makes the players testy and perhaps the crowd testy. So lets add that to the situation--up by 30, winning team is still pressing, and you can tell that the crowd is getting rowdy and the losing players are getting testy.
So now my question is this: how much would you tighten up your calling of the game if you saw the losing players starting to get pissed? Would you then say something to the coaches? Is this perhaps a "preventative officiating" situation, and if so how do you handle it?
Just a newbie looking for a little guidance
