I think that is more in your area. I happen to live in an area where there are many college and HS officials along with evaluators. The HS assignors here do not want us using NCAA mechanics in reporting fouls. You are not just suppose to clear the players, you are suppose to come somewhat in the middle of the court (the NF did move this area back away from the table) and stop and report the foul. And because there is many assignors that do college too, they know what college mechanics are and the tend make a big deal about sticking to NF mechanics.
I was critizised in most of my camps because I did not come to a complete stop when I called a foul. I would do a slow walk and evaluators were all over me because of that!!!

Mike, as suppref already said try to report from further
away, even use the NCAA mechanic of clearing the players
rather than going to the fed box if coaches tend to
"get in your face". You probably realize this but try
and keep in mind that coaches are biased and sometimes
they just want to vent a little or even "get into your
head". Work on ignoring their comments.
Also, it's a good practice to ignore
everything & everyone, including warning the coach until
you've reported the foul. As you've said there's a lot to
remember everytme you bow that whistle!
