How much flak do you take?

[WI REF]

RTR; Knowing when you have had enough will have to be your decision. It all depends on your personality and how long your fuse is. For me, I usually let the coach whine (no cheese) and complain more then others. As long as it's NOT directed right at me or my mother. But when the coach has began to cross the line, I try and stop him/her. The best way that I have learned is to casually go over there on a dead ball situation and calmly ask the coach to stop. I usually tell them that I hear what they're saying and that I've heard enough. Sometimes I'll say something like "coach, why don't you let me do the officiating and you do the coaching"? I also tell them that the coaches box is intended just for that - coaching.
GOOD LUCK !!!
