I think we've have all had moments when we've done things that we regret later. Once I was doing a grade school game (5th grade girls) early in the season. Everytime one of these little gals tried to stop during their dribble, they shuffled their feet. There was no advantage being made on their opponent, etc..you get the point. The coach kept screaming for a travel. So, I called four traveling violations in a row (two for each team), then I turned to the coach and said "Are we all done calling unnecessary travel violations now?" Looking back, I regret it. Highly unprofessional. After the game I spoke with the coach and apologized for how I dealt with the issue. We had a good conversation and he agreed that being "over-officious" with the travel violation at the time in the season (December) and given the level of play, would simply take away any flow at all. I told him that if I came back at the end of January and they were still taking the extra shuffle, I would call it.

Live and learn. If given the chance, I would have responded more professionally.

Cheers!
Becky
