Cool Look at it like this.......

it is your game. Everything that goes on in it, you are responsible for. If a kid gets hurt, they will blame you, if the fouls are called or not called, they will blame you. You need to take responsibility for what happens in that game. Now, having said that, if a kid questions your call or a coach questions your call, you have every right under the rules to address it. If a T needs to be called, then call it. If comments need to be made, make them. This is very important, "THEY CANNOT NOT HAVE A FAIR CONTEST WITHOUT OFFICIALS." Do not let anyone tell you differently. It puts the players and coaches at a disadvantage if you are not there. Believe me, I did two scrimmages by myself, and it did affect the games. You are in charge, and if people do not want to follow you get them out of there. The best way to get rid of a kid that is a problem, keep calling fouls on him/her. If they want to cherp, call anything that they do that is boarderline. They will not be there for long.
