How to talk to a referee

[lmeadski]

the degree to which a player plays rough is inverse to his skill level. What else can a player do with a limited skill set than to play tough? I think everyone on this thread is understanding of how this all comes together: the player's skill level, the coach's ability to coach and maneuver his/her team through a game, and how we call the game, are 3 key elements to how the game unfolds. One impacts the other, which impacts the other, etc. It is a big circle. And, being a circle, you can claim that one of these 3 is more important than they other as it relates to the game. In reality, that depends where you jump in on the circle.
