Dealing with dissent
Topics of discussion
•Venting vs dissenting
•Positioning
•Foul recognition / selection
•Dealing with technical area (Ask, tell, dismiss)
•Parents / Spectators: The do’s and don’ts
•Player management – what are you “getting” out of
your cards?
Venting vs Dissenting
• You MUST deal with all instances of dissent
– If you ignore dissent, game control will be impacted
• Venting: Immediate complaint about a call or non-call is not
really dissent, let the players express their opinion –
BRIEFLY!
• Emotional responses: if it persist or is repetitive you must
take action
• Dissent: The public nature of the actions (who can see it, who
can hear it)
– Continually asking question to undermine authority
– Repeated moaning about decisions
Dissent by word or action
• Dissent by word:
– Offensive
– Insulting
– Provocative
– Abusive
• Dissent by Action: Actions that convey aggressiveness
towards an official
– Running aggressively towards an official
– Invading the body space of an official
– Players surrounding an official (Ref mob)
– Pressuring an official to change a call
Positioning
• Work Rate:
– Must match or exceeds the intensity of the match.
– It’s hard to argue a call / non-call if the referee is in perfect
position to “sell” the call!
– High work rate conveys the message that the officials are
engaged in the game
• Do not “look” for trouble! Be aware of your positioning on
dead ball situations and after a game critical decision.
• Let's discuss this video
Foul recognition / selection
• Remember…. “It’s their game, not yours!”
• Adjust your foul selection according to age and skill level
• Good foul selection equals good game management
Dealing with technical area
• Be courteos and polite
– Please and Thank you will make a difference
• DO NOT BULLY coaches / admin staff – Remember, you
should be “the voice of reason”. Also, you don’t like to be
treated that way!
• Ask – Tell – Dismiss
• Avoid getting “face to face” with coaches / admin staff: it’s a
human reaction to get defensive when personal space is
invaded
• Be accountable: If you say you’re going to do something –
DO IT!
Parents / Spectators
• Be courteos and polite
– Please and Thank you will make a difference
• Parents don’t know that they don’t know!
• Avoid getting in conversations with spectators (for obvious
reasons)
• Let's see!
Player management
• What are you “getting” from your cards? – when giving
cautions, we must get get something meaningful in return
• Card Mechanics:
– Give a stronger/longer blast of your whistle
– Add an administrative whistle
– Evaluate the “flash point”
– Quickly isolate the offender
– Showtime! Now the stage is yours!
– Get to the point – Never finish your statement with a
question
– Show the card like you mean it!
