Usually its the assstant coaches that become fools, and I quick comment to the head coach to take care of it is usually enough.

AAU gives me good games to work on mechanics. Also, anything can and will happen in these games.

I am glad you and others with your good attitude DO officiate AAU. We need good officials at this level TOO. Any positive influence you can have on a child will only make them a better person as they get to higher levels. If all they see are screaming coaches and parents; they miss the best part of the sport. They need to learn to enjoy the game and challenge themselves and their personal skill levels..... not how to disrespect authority.
