Coaches Who Constantly Officiate

[lrpalmer3]

You will hear older officials say that the T is a cure-all for a lot of issues, but I was uncomfortable issuing T's my first year. And yes, I was uncomfortable putting coaches in their place for fear that they would expose my naivity.

Here's how I dealt/deal with it. Unless the coaches actions are totally objectionable, I allow it. Even if it distracts me, I allow it because I want to get better. I use it to make me mentally tougher and stronger.

Also, practice what you'll say in front of the mirror. I know, you will feel very foolish, but you will quickly learn what you feel comfortable saying and not so comfortable saying.

Last bit of advcie: be yourself.
