I think the problem we have with many sub – Varsity coaches is the overwhelming desire to win, with no regard to teaching the game. They should be teaching the kids the rules instead they are trying to circumvent the rules. Managing these coaches’ temperament and personalities is one of the most difficult parts of officiating. It is something that will come with time. You almost have to be a diplomat and a dictator. On one side you want to communicate with them explain your call (diplomatically), at the same time letting them know that your ruling is final. I think you learn by watching veteran Officials and not taking anything a coach has to say personally even if it is a complement.
