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.
