Do you want this whistle?

[JWalker]

Its a middle school boys game, and a coach keeps yelling at me about my calls. They are good, fair calls, in my judgement. And to top it off, this coach is ALSO an official. Well, I offered him my whistle, but he wouldnt take it. If he WERE willing to take it, should I give it to him? They play by high school rules, but it is a VERY 'intramural' atmosphere. So, would I be VERY wrong in giving someone my whistle in this type of atmosphere? Working rec games with kids, I was in the same situation with a coach who was waiting for his team to play (3rd grade boys, mind you). He was real nice though, and apologized as I jokingly offered my whistle to him. I understand, that this would be totally inappropriate in an official league. So, what do you think?
