I have a good friend who officiates basketball. He is very good and on the rise. One thing that we differ on is the proper way to communicate with a coach. His way of communicating could sometimes include hand jestures and an upset look on his face. He tells me that he thinks he handles coaches well. I think that conversation with a coach should be kept to a minimum and I would never give away the nature of a conversation with a coach by my body language. I also told him something along the lines of I don't handle coaches well because I don't handle them at all! They coach and I officiate the game. If there is a reason for interaction I do what is needed. Other than that I just ref the game. My friend also hates doing rec ball because he says he doesn't gain anything by doing it. I told him that rec ball would give him thicker skin during a high school game and would help his game management. I want to know someone else's point of view.
