It's loud enough so everyone can hear.

If you were the ref who now has to work solo, what would you do, if anything? Would you pull the coaches together as soon as you start working alone to explain the situation?

I call everything under the sun. I call what ever looks like a foul and do not worry about what anyone has to say about it. Working two person is bad enough, working alone is impossible. I have worked those games and I call every off ball play I see, every screen and every rebound. I do not let players think for a second I cannot see what they are doing.

I agree - call it tight....they'll get the message soon enough
