too much fun

[Hawks Coach]

It is a fine line between having fun and appearing that you are not taking the game seriously. I didn't see how you acted, so I can't comment. I have seen refs that display levity but maintain a professional demeanor, and I have seen refs go overboard and appear to be goofing around.

It is important in 4th grade ball that everybody keep things in perspective, especially if the game is between two teams that aren't even competitive in that age group. But everybody deserves to see that you do take your job seriously. I am not saying you didn't or don't, but you do have to concern yourself with appearance.
