I disagree with the approach of telling the official during the game to slow down the whistle or to look for advantage, as this could lead to the guy just going in the tank for the rest of the game. I think the best approach is to talk about philosophy using a couple specific calls after the game, if you truly want to help this official.

So let me see if I understand you: You're working maybe your 2nd or 3rd JV level game of your life and four officials with much more experience ranging from 9 - 34 years tell you you're doing it wrong, so you keep doing it? I don't think so.
