My first camp experience...

OK - here's how to prepare for your first game. Take a tape recorder down to the animal shelter and tape about one hour of howling dogs. Then go home, lock yourself in a closet and play the tape for two hours straight at full volume. When you come out, practice your technical foul mechanic.

Now you're ready to handle coaches.

Mark's advise just about covers it!!! But a week or so ago there were a couple of threads regarding how much to take, verbally, from coaches. We mostly concur that if a call is "bad", try to let it go but if the ref is "bad" then it's a "T". If they question your integrity, then it's a "T". Also the universal stop sign works wonders, but just like on the road if they run through the sign, "T" 'em up.
