I work a lot of rec. ball and if it's not something you're used to then I can understand your apprehension. Just remember that it's a no-win situation: they're gonna ***** whether you let 'em play through stuff or if you call it tight. But in now way should you ever let them talk down to you or curse you. We're all adults out there and we're only being paid to officiate, not to babysit also.
One line that I like to use in situations when I don't know the players and I'm catching above normal grief from a certain individual is, "Hey, if you start putting the ball in the hole more often then you make my job a lot easier. Why don't you concentrate on that and let me officiate".
Good luck this weekend and I'd like to hear how it goes.....
