Mark, don't scare him off before he's started.
Hey - I'll give him the same advice I give all new refs: get a tape recorder, go to the zoo and record an hour of monkey screeches. Then, lock yourself in a closet and play the tape in a continuous loop at full volume while running in place for about 2 hours. While running, keep yelling "SIT DOWN COACH" at the top of your lungs.

Then, you'll know what it'll be like the first time you step on the court.
Great idea except I wouldn't use monkeys. I have four children and I can get a number of hours of whining and complaining that could be used as a substitute for coaches. I would suggest a a couple 4-year-olds to represent the whining coaches, and a teen-ager to represent the screaming and unresponsive coach.
