Comments please
1) How do you get 42 minutes? Two 21 minute halves?

2) What do you hear from other coaches? If they "all" are saying "it's too rough" or "call more fouls" or "be aggressive, girls, these officials aren't calling much", then you probably need to tighten up for this league. If it's just this one coach, then ignore him.

The sooner you stop worrying what coaches and fans think of your officiating, the sooner you'll take that next step to becoming an even better official.

Never judge your skills as an official by how the coaches react or don't react.

A few years ago, in the NFHS Quarterly publication, an article noted that the average fouls per game in high school sub-varsity games was in the mid 30's, and varsity games slightly lower. Fourty is not totaly out of line.
As for this particular coach, maybe you look like the guy that stole his girl friend in Jr. High. . .

Oh. I thought it was two 20 minute halves with a really slow-reacting timekeeper.

Even for you, that was a low blow. It was a tossed softball, but you didn't have to swing at it.

So, you're saying I didn't hit it out of the park?
