How much dissent should we allow?

[galenm]

good technique-- I expand that technique in my own pre-game since there are often more than one player designated as captain-- "any of you may talk to me about any call, but you will do it from this distance [where we are standing in the "huddle"] otherwise it will be carded"-- rarely is there a problem with the captains after that-- it's the fine line between "self-berating" and "call criticism" from the other players that is tenuous in a game situation

don't think there will ever be a definitive answer, but I DO enjoy the discussion among current refs
