Totally agree about tip #5 above. I remember being hoarse after very competitive games. Your comments to players can go a long way to keep the game under control and moving along. Yes, the quick running backs can be upon you as fast as you can blink. You end up being a blocker for them. I only got really blasted once in my 40 seasons, and that was one I did not see coming. I might add to protect your knees, especially when players come rolling in towards you. Reduce the risk of a season or career ending injury. Have fun and keep everything in front of you. Did I say how much I miss the games?
