Coach to Coach

I had this happen once in a H.S. Varsity game..... This is the way I handled it....... I brought both officials to the table and simply said......."The next comment that comes from your mouth better be directed at me or your players, if you two want to talk to each other, I can arrange that!"
They got the hint! By the way! They did not discuss my officiating after that either!

The next time I may say something different, it all depends on the situation!
