Coach management

[bellyache]

i would think most officials would agree that most officials are different. and the coaches know this. i sorta enjoy when a coach challenges me in a respectful way. i am confident of my knowledge of the rules thus dont mind being questioned. however i will not let a coach think he can use me to make a side line show. and i certainly wont let one get personnal with myself or my partner. we are a team and i expect my partner to demand respect for me as i do for him and myself. i have found that alot of times it smooths a situation to be very light hearted when communicating with a coach but will also let them know they have come close to crossing the line. i try to treat them with
respect as long as possible though.
