Our policy is to not influence the players' decisions. We are not there to decide what happens in the game.

It is the coaches' job to coach their players and our job to be impartial.
I started officiating before we became the self-esteem police. In a Varsity game I don't ask the coach what he wants. That's the Captains' job as he has instructed them. If a 17 yr old kid can't make the right decision, it's not my fault.
