When Dave and I did our three rec league games together this weekend, we had a female coach for one of the games. She was fine, and only complained on one travel call. Dave gave her "the stare" and she didn't say anything the rest of the game. After the game, one of our rec league board members came up to me (I also am on the board) and asked me if there were any problems with that coach. I said no and asked why I was asked about it. The board member told me that she had been assigned to "watch" that coach, because the previous two weeks she had given the refs an incredibly bad time. In fact, the board member had a written list of complaints she was checking on to see if the coach was going to do the same things again.
I called Dave over and asked him if he thought the coach acted OK. He agreed. The board member said to him that it must be his "demeanor" that kept the coach in line.
Dave replied, "Yep, that's me. I'm de meaner ref and Mark's de nicer ref."
