How do you normally feel while refereeing?
Relaxed. Excited a bit at the opening whistle, but not apprehensive.

How often do coaches yell at you?
Every game. They think they have to or they're not doing their jobs. It's usually not bad, though.

How often do you get abused by players?
Rarely. It's happened once or twice in 20 years.

How often do you have to eject a coach from the field?
Rarely. I've done it once, and seen it done two other times.

How often do you have to red card a player or coach for abusing you?
Rarely.

How often do you have to send a player off the field for abusing the referee?
Few games. Sometimes players will get a second yellow for dissent after they've already gotten one for something else. That may not be what you're asking, though. I've found that once one player gets a yellow for dissent, that often helps quiet things down.

How often do you have to punish a coach for abusing the referee?
Rarely. In high school games I've seen a handful of coaches get yellow cards, but almost never a red.

How would you describe referees treatment in your games?

OK for the most part. Players and coaches pretty much understand what is and isn't supposed to happen. Very rarely does dissent rise to the level of abuse. As another poster said, spectators are the biggest issue. I work as a mentor for young referees, and the biggest reason they leave refereeing is the abuse they get from spectators.
