Lead by example
Since I am a relatively new "ref", I go to games to watch the officials "orchestrate" the "symphany". I attentively watch the mechanics and mannerisms to confirm in my mind that I am doing it right. Sometimes I witness actions that lead me to ask my mentor questions and how or why they may have made a call.
I will NEVER verbally "chastize", ridicule or in any other way degrade the officials on floor. I presume they are doing their best to call a good game. I will do my best to be a sportsmanlike observer and politely encourage others around me to do the same.
BTW: I have heard or seen all the "tongue-in-cheek" comments/actions mentioned in the previous postings.
Sad, but true!
