Talking to Players & Coaches

[LepTalBldgs]

There's a thread below where Mick says that some ref's will say "Sorry coach, I kicked it".

This year I'll be working mostly frosh/soph and JV games with a limited number of small school varsity. What are your opinions on how to handle the following:

1. Do you say "Sorry I kicked it" or "that wasn't my best call", or "I may have missed that one" to a coach?

2. When my partner calls a questionable foul and we line up to shoot, I've had players slide over to me as T and say, "Hey, you saw that wasn't a foul, right?". I usually respond, either "My partner and I have been a pretty good team so far tonight" or "I was watching a different area on the floor and didn't see it". What do you say?

3. If my partner calls something in my primary I've had a player say "That was your area", or "He wasn't supposed to call that". I have said "He may have seen something I didn't". Is there anything else to say?

Thanks for your help
