Thanks for the input. I do have to relax during the crazy situations. I'm not a rookie but I think I haven't quite grasped the game management side of officiating, at least at the high school level.
A part of it may just be having confidence. I have confidence in my officiating ("the whistle blowing"). However, when you are unsure of how to handle coaches or other situations, it sometimes shows. Coaches like to jump on that. I think I need to learn to just be assertive (not as easy as it sounds) and take charge.
