How to talk to a referee

[LepTalBldgs]

Most referee's will listen to a coach who is reasonable. If both coaches felt like the game was out of hand, then it is possible that between periods the coaches could have approached the officials in a respectful manner and discussed the issue, stressing that both coaches were here and that they mutually agreed that the game should be called tighter for the safety of the participants.

I would certainly listen to a discussion like that and I hope that most reasonable referee's would as well.
