People who ref, and for the record reffing is HARD, need to understand that when people complain it isn't a personal
attack on the ref as a person. It is complaining about the calls. When feelings get involved it ruins the game and can completely change the outcome. Get over yourself and focus on the making the correct call from there on out.

Personal anecdote. I was coaching ball last week when a ref blew the whistle on my guy on a push in the back during a rebound. Ran to the table and gave the number of a player who was already tracking back on defense when the foul occurred. I chuckled a little and pointed out the foul was on 4 and not 21 who was tracking back. Ref looked at me and said he'd call the game and kept the foul on 21. fast forward about 5 mins and we have a scramble for a loose ball and my guy gets it right before a player dives and ends up cutting the legs of my guy and they all fall over. Nothing at all was called. Ended up with a jump ball. I stand up call the ref over while some subs where coming in before the inbound to ask if there was a foul there or what really happened. He jogged over and before I could say anything, honestly no words left my mouth, he stopped a bout 3 ft short of me and called a tech on me. When I asked for a reason he waved me off and went to the other end. I asked the other ref what that was all about and he said the other ref said he heard someone yell his name. I don't even know what his name is and my guys didn't say anything. I always shake the refs hands after a game and say thanks, this guys walked right past me and looked straight ahead. Next game we get with him should be fun.
