				What do officials expect from coaches?
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			I'm a 9 year head coach, brand new to the officiating forums. I've been in the AAU ranks now for the past 3 years, currently coaching a 14U team. I've already gleaned a ton of info by checking out the forums for a few months now, figured I should join and ask some questions.     
 
I'm pretty laid back, never been T'd or throw out of a game.  Probably coached close to 400 games at this point. I understand the 14U skill level can vary, so you have a bunch of kids who are still trying to learn the game.  I'm sure that adds to the degree of difficulty for the officials. 
 
On to the questions: 
  
1) I'm sure there's at least one coach you enjoy officiating their games.  What is it about that coach that makes it enjoyable?  
 
2) Will what I ask/say change your calls in a game? 
 
3) What's the best way to piss you guys off and have you ignore me (obviously looking for what not to do)? 
 
Appreciate the input!
