... and along the same line, once they get to know you it gets a lot easier. I'm lucky in that my experience (32 years), and my age (lots, and lots, of gray hair), help, actually help a lot. I may not be one of the top officials on my board, but when I walk into a gymnasium, most coaches know me, they know that I will be working by butt off for both teams, they know that I'm pretty good with the rules, and with the application of the rules, and they know that I won't put up with a lot of bullshit from either coach. My only problems are with young coaches, who don't know me. Those young'uns have to adjust their learning curve real fast, or we're having a "tea party". I seldom do it, but I'm not afraid to take the gun out of the holster. "Bang. Bang. Take a seat." (Tea party? Gun? Sorry about the mixed metaphors.)
