Okay, last piece of advice.

Don't use phrases like, "Sit down and stop shouting," or "I don't want to hear another word," when handling coaches.

Stick to, "Coach I need you in the box," or "I've heard enough coach." The enough is best used with the stop sign, so everyone sees that you have calmly dealt with the situation.

I actually said "Coach, I understand why your upset, but that's enough." I read this forum enough to know not to say "I don't want to hear another word." I'm not even sure what I was thinking when I typed that.

And you can keep the advice coming. I always want to keep learning - if you are not getting better, than you are probably getting worse.

Thanks to everyone for the advice for next time. I just got out the official's manual and re-read the part where it lists all the things an official must be (at the beginning). Now you guys have me all excited to go back in there and do a great job.

(Edited for grammatical correctness. Hopefully)
