FWIW,
When I started, 6 years ago, I recognized real quickly I was gonna have to learn to deal with the coaches. I, quite frankly, wasn't gonna have people yelling at me. I came here and got the advice. I applied the advice and its like magic. It works.
I'm now a Varsity ref and I address things real early in my games. I follow up when necessary and for the most part there aren't many coaching tantrums other then the "head pops off" kind. Addressing these are a no brainer -TWEET
But the ongoing whining and complaining doesn't fly for very long with me.
Get the advice here you need and then apply it.
I went with the three step method when I started out.
1. Talk with them.
2. Stop sign.
3. Reward their behavior.....
It worked for me.
