So I'm officiating in the huge tourney this weekend (75 teams) and it's being played at over 8 high schools. Well at one of the high schools, the home team is playing. It's 9:30 in the morning, so I figure no one will be there. Well the principal and some school admin. show up. That is fine with me, seeing as how we need a game admin. anyway.

So I make several carrying the ball calls on the home team. The home coach didn't care--she knew they were doing it, and plus they were up by almost 25 points. (trust me, there was no way the other team was coming back.)

So I hear one of the school admin's make a comment about the call I make. Then I just blow it off. But at halftime, he comes into the hospitality room to question my calling of the carrying the ball calls. At first, he is cool about it, and then he starts giving me lip. I explain the rules to him (or as I remember them to be from reading that damn case/rule book) and he keeps telilng my I'm wrong. Then as my partner and I are leaving to go back on the court, he asks me if I know who he is. And I say, well a school administrator I hope. And he says yes, but he's also a college referee and starts naming off these college assignors, telling me to take his cell phone and call them right now so they can explain the rules better to me, since I didn't know them...and that he's a big time college ref and all. About this time, the principal of the school is telling him to chill out and such.

So my question--

1.) What would you do in this situation?
2.) Since I'm a very young guy doing big time varsity games here in Texas, some of the coaches try to give me lip and push me around. I guess they figure since I'm the youngest on the court--between other officials and coaches--that I am not good or that I won't give them a T because I'm scared. So....I need some help in what to say to coaches when they try to ***** me out.

(I'm usually one of those persons who lets comments go in one ear and out the other and I hate being mean...lol)

sorry for the long post.
