Follow Cowboy's example

A friendly, receptive personality makes a tremendous difference in how your calls are received. We should not be the IMPERSONAL, automated robots that some might suggest. Friendliness goes a long way towards GOOD game management. Of course you must be open, and equally friendly to both teams.
