"Coach, he's a good official. Let him work."
"Coach, that play was right in front of him...let's trust him. He's a good official."
"He had a different angle than you and I did."
"Coach, I understand. We'll talk about that at half-time."

As a "veteran" official, let the "rookie" make the calls in his area and you worry about everything else; players, coaches, benches, table, clock, subs, time-outs, goofy plays, etc.
