Here are a few good steps on how to ignore a referee when he or she has made a foul call or misses a foul call that would make a player/coach mad or cost the game.

EditSteps

  1. 1
    When the referee has made a call, try not to say anything wrong as far as any swear words or going into there faces.
  2. 2
    When you see a teammate get called for a foul and you see one of them heading towards the referee in anger, try to grab him or her so it will not be a a foul call that gets them ejected from the game.
  3. 3
    When the referee does call a foul, just go on the side and talk to him or her as you would if it was your coach or boss, and tell him you feel that it was a bad call. That way, the referee can explain what he saw and you can better understand the call that was made.
  4. 4
    Do not say anything mean towards the referee after the game because it can cost you the next game.

EditTips

  • Here is something to remember if you want to become a good ball player. Rasheed Wallace has gotten a lot of technical fouls just by getting mad at the referees and even getting thrown out of the game on occasions when his teammates needed him. This is a way for a basketball player to understand the value of how this could affect his or her sportsmanship.
  • If you do not ignore the referees, you may get kicked out or it may be one of your star players that you know might have a bad temper that the team needs to play, so take this as a way of trying to understand the value of the how important it is to not get angry at the referees in a game.
  • You should probably not continue to react to the referees calls if you already have a technical foul on you, one of your players, and an assistant coach on your team, as the University of Iowa did against the University of Northern Iowa on December 6, 2011. This resulted in Iowa's Coach McCaffery getting a second technical and ejected from the game with a police escort. All of the free throws from the four technicals and the fouls which provoked them resulted in UNI winning by 20 points.

EditWarnings

  • A referee is like a police officer; it can cost you big if you cannot control your temper.
