I was a basketball official for over a decade. You have to have a certain mindset and just smile at the fans if they insult you. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even when every CYO coach thought he could act like certain college coaches. If you can focus on the game, your positioning and your judgment, it can be fun. Officials make decent money now, and at the college level they make very good money. It is fair to expect them to know the rules and not make those kind of mistakes. It is fair to expect them to be part of the game, but not who the crowd wants to see perform. Make calls within the context of the game, instead of trying to impress everyone. Let the players play. As far as the parents are concerned, ignore them unless they use profanity or vulgarity. Some of their comments can actually be fairly clever. Finally, give the officials credit when they make the right call, even if it does not go your way.
