have a better view of the play than the other, extra communication may make for an accurate call and create
confidence in the officiating crew. Problems or situations may need to be discussed during a break.

talk to the coach at a stoppage in play, half-time or at the end of the game to correct the misunderstanding.

Request the coaches to restrain their players if necessary.
