The all-crowd boo and how you handle it is just like being dealt pocket aces.
How you handle it, from body language to your next move, is what makes or breaks a good official?
Nobody works as a bb referee that doesn't love the game as much as the fans love their team that plays the same game. When the fans boo, you have to recognize that they have the same passion for the game as you do. You're just seeing it from a different perspective and training.
If the all-crowd boos are occasional in your games and you're not letting them influence what you do next, it's the best part of the game some nights.
