Good article!

This part has me puzzled. Ref says, ""If (a coach) has badgered me the whole game, in a moment out of the spotlight, I'll try to tap him on the arm or leg or tell him that's enough." Tap the coach on the leg??? How could that ever, ever be appropriate??

I thought the same thing, and frankly, I've never worked with a coach tall enough that it wouldn't be physically awkward as well. I won't even tap them on the arm, but some refs can get away with that.
