Before you get too irate about what you were criticized about. Get a video camera and see if you can see what you were doing. The tape doesn't lie as the saying goes. I thought I was the greatest official on the planet until I saw myself on video. I had to have wondered what that ref was doing or thinking the entire game. He(menaing me) stunk.:-)
Now as far as the vet official is concerned. Thank him for his time in helping you. I always love shadowing rookies during scrimmages. It is fun and I learn from it as well as they. Apologize. It is never wrong to be the first to apologize. It is always best to defuse the argument. Then ask him if he has any more pointers that he can give you. Glean everything you can from him and the other vets. You want a reputation for being a learner not an arguer.
