"One ref, be physical"

[bas2456]

This morning I was assigned to a freshman B game. We start the game, and about two minutes in I get pulled off to go to the A game because one guy didn't show.

As I'm walking off, one of the B coaches tells his players "Hey there's one ref, be physical".

It's loud enough so everyone can hear.

If you were the ref who now has to work solo, what would you do, if anything? Would you pull the coaches together as soon as you start working alone to explain the situation?
