I had this situation explained to me in a little different way at a camp several years ago...I was told I was "too vanilla" on the court...took me several hours of conversations with the observer ( a multiple time Final Four official) before I began to understand that style has something to do with it...not talking about the obnoxious things like hitting the whistle multiple times, but showing some excitement yourself at certain times, not calling every foul or violation with exactly the same demeanor the entire game, dealing with coaches more openly (not antagonistically), laughing and talking with players at appropriate times, etc...worked on those things all the next season, went back to the same camp the next year and had the same observer watch me - hence the nickname rockyroad - not vanilla anymore!!
