Again, you miss the point.

Whether it is 5, 10, or 20 games under their belt with none for the league admins, those league administrators, having run the league for years and dealt with all the personalities that come with it, will generaly have far more experience in recognizing and dealing with unsportsmanlike behavior. That is why they are there. New referees are not automaticlally endowed with great people skills or good judgement just because they put on a whistle....particularly if they are 15 years old.
