had a situation in MS girls tourny. Working game with my daughter - first year official. One coach was really over the top with every whistle she blew. I know I'm biased - but have been told by all the guys in our association they would be happy to work with her at any level.

Anyway - coachis getting obnoxious and my daughter comes over to me during a TO and asks if I would go over and deal with her. I told her - the coach wasn't doing it to me - she had to learn to deal with these situation. She went over to coach after TO and pulled him aside so that her back was to bench/crowd. I heard her tell him that a letter to WIAA was $.39. Registration was $20. That would get him rule books, ref manual and case book along with exam. She told him that after he passed the exam, paid $4.95 for whistle, $36 for shirt, $39 for pants and $53 for shoes he could speak with her about her calls again. And she calmly walked to her spot - pointed at me that she was ready for inbound. Never heard from him again. Parents of team came down and thanked her. I was a proud papa - she never raised her voice, became angry or used any tupe of profane language - and yet he got the point.
