Realizing that these games can mean a lot to the coaches, players, and fans. No matter the level, treat every game as important, that is part of our professionalism as officials.

From my pregame conference: This game is the most important game being played anywhere tonight for these kids, fans, and coaches. Let’s make sure we officiate the game keeping that in mind, through effort, and attitude.

One caveat. Many of us that work "lower level" games will make adjustments in terms of switching on fouls, throwin situations, etc., but these adjustments are made with the approval of the person who assigns these types of games.

That statement isn't. The player's behavior was close, and I decided to give the coach the chance to deal with it instead. That's the choice I regret.

This is why I've never been a "get the coach to help you out with problem players" type. I address players directly and in a manner that everybody in the gym knows what I'm doing. Coaches who care about their players' behavior will ask me what the problem was.
