Thanks for all of your input. I survived. I had two games one sixth grade girls and one eighth grade girls. Both games were rather physical. The assigner for the league messed up and had three games going on with four new officials so my partner and I were both rookies. We did all right for ourselves I think. We missed a few in the early game but it was 26-4 at half time and we really didn't effect the game. The second game was tougher. Bigger kids, harder calls. The coaches of one of the teams was all over us from the beginning.
I had a play where I was the lead and player 1 on team A is going in for a shot and is obviously pushed. Neither my parter nor I could see who did it. Neither one of us blew the whistle. After the ball goes up the other end and team B is now shooting ft's the player 1 on team A said to me, "watch the pushes underneath." I told her, "I saw you hit the floor but couldn't see what happened so I didn't call it." Was I all right in how I handled her? Should I have ignored it or spoke with her on the side as she was inbounding the ball? What is the propper way to handle a player in that situation who is really frustrated?
