Shut Up!!

I got no problem with my partner telling the scorekeeper to shut up. Its all in how you go about it. Of course you don't want yell at this person from across the gym, but a quick shut up can solve the problem. Not to mention the score keeper knows they are not allowed to yell at the refs.

Then why not tell him that politely during the next stoppage in play?
Quality officials aren't rude to anyone while on the court.

Amen, that. Professional behavior requires us to treat other people respectfully, even if and when we are not afforded the same courtesy. Now, if only we could figure out how to transfer that concept to this message board....

Shut up!

When I first started out, maybe in my 2nd or 3rd year, I was doing a 7th/8th grade boys game and this one kid just wanted to complain about every whistle. Finally, I told him "Shut up and just play". As soon as it was out of my mouth, I realized I shouldn't have said it. I haven't used "shut up" on the court since then.
