I have to disagree with the idea that there's something he can learn about himself that's important to officiating. A person can love officiating and absolutely hate men's rec leagues; that describes many people, actually.
Fact is, I don't "put up" with the whining and stare downs. I address it quickly and sternly. One warning, if you want, followed by a T the next time he does it (and he will) usually takes care of it. If not, a 2nd T
will take care of it.
