Was I wrong

I think the answer lies entirly with what leval of games you are doing and the closeness of the score. If it is a close game and you help one team by preventing turnovers then I wouldn't say anything, just call the violation.

I've got 5 kids and the last one is in 5th grade now. I have been coaching 3rd - 6th grade boys and girls for about 10 years. Teams and coach have been at various levals. I have never appreciated and official coaching my kids. For example, I've been telling her all year to stop carrying the ball and that she is going to get called on it. Now what happens? Some ref takes it upon theirself to tell her again.

Please, Mr. official, call the violation, she knows and it doesn't help her, her team, or her coach for you to tell her again.

Sorry for the venting.
