There's a whole buncha coaches out there that don't want officials telling them how to do their job. If the kid yaps after you tell the coach, you still are gonna have to do something about it. As practically everybody else said, take care of bidness early when it's still a minor problem.

If the coach isn't smart enough to realize that I am trying to help him and do some preventive officiating then I guess I have to whack someone. I think that this helps build better communication between you and the coaches, letting them know that you can work with them and their players to better manage the game. I have never had a coach yet (knock on wood) go the opposite way as stated in your post!
