Very True. I had a MS girls game this Fall where i let an AC say way more than i should have (Yeah, I know). But, on the drive home, I was determined that in the future, I'd learn from the day's experience and not allow that to happen again.

In the winter at a 7th grade boys game, I ended up whacking a head coach for his prolonged comments that ended with "Are you kidding me?" screamed in my ear after what i saw was a routine held ball. I ran into my assignor the next day as he was officiating the game after mine and he told me he thought it was a good T based on my report of the incident to him. I had wondered if maybe i was going too far the other way, but hearing his feedback helped me feel as if I was doing a better job finding that balance.
