When I first started officiating I had a veteran official tell me to treat most coaches like I would one of my kids. Not out of disrespect. Keep a calm voice, administer any penelty ( T or other foul ), try and bring them to your level, not raise to thier level. Walk away if you have to. Most coaches will respect you for your professionalism in the end. Don't take anything personally. Sometimes it's hard, but in the end it's 99% worth it. This is suppose to fun for us too!
