The easiest thing to do is just nod and say "I understand"...then let it go...why get all wound up about it? If you hear the same thing from more than one "experienced official" then put it into your game, otherwise, let it go...

This is something I always told new officials: If you hear a comment from one observer (varsity officials were required to observe JV officials), ignore it. If you start hearing it from more than one official, then it's probably something to think about. But always smile, and thank them for their input.
