Early in the game, assert your authority and prove that you know what you're doing by throwing some seldom-called technicality at somebody, especially some violation that nobody in the park sees but you. Examples:
1. "Coach, you have to have both feet in the box."
2. "Illegal pitch. The foot was slightly off the ground."
3. "Batter, you stepped out of the box. That's strike 3. You're out."
4. "Runner, in repositioning your foot, you momentarily lost contact with the bag. You're out on the look-back rule."
This always works for me.
