Accept it and go on. I once had a coach ask that I not be assigned to his conference tourney game. Why? Because I had whacked one of his players and him the game before. Did it bother me? Can you say, "Nope!"
Once had a soccer coach refuse to speak to me in a pre-game because I gave his best player a red card a few days before for throwing a Mike Tyson haymaker at an opponent. Did it bother me? Can you say, "Nope." And, if he had asked for an explanation of a call during the game, I would have reminded him that he had made it clear he did not want to talk to me and he would have heard nothing in the way of an explanation. Just doing it his way.
