First, I would like to say that I am a second year offical, and I am learning alot about the game just by reading the disscussion board and following the advice of my fellow officals. I was working a 7th grade CYO contest,when I made a shooting foul call, when I realized after the fact, that there was no foul. I was caught out of position on the play and anticipated the contact. Needless to say, the crowd went nuts,obviously seeing no contact. At that point, the players mother stood up, to protest tha call by shouting curses my way. Now, I was never when to let insults affect me,but officiating ia a catholic basketball league, with young kids participating, I felt she stept way over the line. Any advice on how to handle this situation.
