If you think an official is BAD, then don't make a play where you think the official has to make a GOOD call to help you out.
If you think it should have been a foul the first time, don't be suprised when it isn't a foul the second time. Then ask yourself why you tried the same thing a third time.
Be nice to us and we will be nice to you. Don't be afraid to hand us the ball when there is a TO or it is in your possesion and we have a whistle.
If you see your mom talking to an official who calls himself "Billy" tell her to runaway...very fast and not to give him her phone number

All you have to say to players and their families is that what they see on TV does not apply to them. Officials are adults, they are not. So if they think they can talk to us or complain anyway they want to, that is not going to go over well with all officials. You do not have to get into role playing or even give that many examples. And they need to know that when an official is talking to them, it is to their benefit to listen. The player’s role is to play the game, not tell an adult how to do their job. Just like we would be shocked if players were telling coaches who to play and what play to run without being given that authority.

Peace

Hey! Mind your own business.
