I think most officials go through this. I don't like to take sh!t but I'm a lot more tolerant than I used to be. You have to take some crap. But I think the more you work, the more tolerant you become. Also, coaches tend to try younger officials more. They're not going to talk crap to a 30 year vet. But you're new, so they'll try you.
As you gain experience, you'll learn what to say an dwhat not to say. I had a coach today that yelled for a foul, right in my ear!. I yelled back at him,, "Coach, tell yell in my ear! I don't appreciate it!" Know what? He didn't yell the rest of the game.
Live and learn which T's were good and which ones you could have passed on.
