When I hear/see a coach or player show negative emotion with respect to a call that is made by me or someone on my crew, I immediately ask myself several questions:

It is completely scary imo that
any official would be concerned about a first-year official issuing technical fouls for coaches yelling at them. That's a ridiculous statement. What difference does it make if the official is in their first year or not. Coaches aren't supposed to be yelling at officials. Period.
One of the questions that you should be asking yourself is why you've come up with a million
excuses on why officials
shouldn't call technical fouls. Nothing personal, but I'd rather officiate with people who don't overthink what they're doing out there. I'm kinda partial to officials who see unsporting conduct being displayed and have the testicular fortitude to actually do something about it. Hey, if you want to let everybody vent and coaches yell at you, be my guest. It's terrible advice for any new official (or
any other official) though imo.
