IMO...this is a correct statement from an experienced official.
IMO...an inexperienced official should stay away from these murky waters. Just call the game and the other game management skills will come later.
As the director said...its about "game management". A coach knows when an experienced official is getting a point across...a coach might not appreciate or understand the "point" the inexperienced (and often times inconsistent) official is trying to get across.
To sum it up...you better have some credability, as an official, when you use these "game management" techniques.
