What the Assignor and evaluator in my league has instructed us to do is call more fouls early not less. That way the players will adjust or foul out before anyone can get hurt or lose control. Sometimes the younger kids jsut don't get it and have trouble adjusting, be consistant and call it the same at both ends of the court. Not that you wouldn't of course. I ahve also found that once the players are around 11 or 12 years of age they will listen to your instructions more as well so I have had some success by talking to the players aas well. Its not our job to coach but if I can prevent on the floor I will do that, it is cool when you finally see the lights come on for a kid and they realize why the calls are being made the way they are.
Hope you had a good season.
