-Keeping your head when all those about you are losing theirs
-Being able to defuse an emotionally charged situation. This is not a strong male trait, it's something we have to develop
-Redirecting focus to get the game going again
I'd like to add that Rut (and I) live in a state that doesn't stress rules knowledge as a major factor to remain registered to officiate high school sports. Frankly, I have never seen the "Nanny Nanny Boo Boo, I have a higher score than you" attitude. Maybe I just don't get out enough.
