In the glare
I'm a first year ref who up to last week worked 5th-8th grade girls games, in the "no testosterone zone." Now I'm working HS boys in a rec league. Pleasantly surprised to find I can still run back and forth with these kids at 56. Tonight, I'm in lead and a kid on the offense hits the floor right in front of me after some contact on a rebound attempt. I did not see a foul so I make no call and start trailing the play going the other way. He looks up at me and verbalizes some frustration about not getting a foul call as I pass him. For the next 3 or 4 dead balls he just glares at me. I make eye contact with him, but otherwise do not react and go about my business. If he opened his mouth I would have T'd him in a heart beat, but figured that if all he did was glare, that was his problem.
Any comments?
