Be on top of the play, not part of the play. Have your head on right . Don't think that your uniform grants you immunity from having to take a little criticism. It's part of officiating. Plan on it.
Successful officials know how much to take.
Don't Bark . If you don't like to be shouted at, don't shout at someone else. Be firm with a normal relaxed voice. Shouting indicates a loss of control - not only of one's self, but also of the game. Cockiness has absolutely no place in officiating.
