Suggestions for How a Player Should Handle Referees

1. Acknowledge their calls without giving any negative gestures.
2. Don't do anything to embarrass them after a call, for instance, don't look over at your coach with both hands waved high in the air, which is like saying, "wasn't that a stupid call."
3. Be willing to ask a quick question during a dead ball or free throw but show respect while speaking to the official (be humble when asking a question).
4. Find out what the personality of each official is quickly; look at the types of calls each of them are making and use it to your teams advantage.
5. Be willing to listen to officials, some will help you stay in the game. Every now and then they might say, "22, get your hands off."

* Let your coaches handle all officiating outside of the things listed above. Working the officials is the coaches responsibility. Whether they chose to work them or not is their call. You just keep a zip on the lip and play ball.
