1) Keep a level head at all times.
2) Make EYE CONTACT with players and coaches.
3) Speak firmly but respectfully
4) Honor a simple request for clarification. (This is tough because obviously we can't go to the bench after every call and explain what we did and why, but I have personally seen how a willingness to explain calls at an appropriate time can go a long way toward creating a greater sense of understanding and cooperation.)
5) Smile (when appropriate)
