what does a ref think when a player argues or talks?

[Cornellref]

While most refs will not admit it, they tend to make more unfavorable calls (for your team) if you are constantly arguing. Obviously, we try to be unbiased but this does not always work if certain players are getting on our nerves. Your best bet is to never question the call, but if you have to say something, ask "what did I do wrong?" and say OK no matter what the explanation is. MAIN POINT: Getting on the good side of officials is always better than getting on their bad side. All officials work better and can concentrate more if they are not subjected to constant questioning.
