[tennisbiz] Re: Line calls and pressure

In response to Gordo Assado comments on line calls....i meant you to
understand that i have been the roving official at many a juniors event
and i have no problem letting the kids know i am watching a specific
court where a possible problem has been pointed out......as far as
parents making the official aware of this ...i suppose its how the
parent goes about this......a parent quietly informing me of a court or
player to watch is fine with me...on the other hand ive asked loud
parents to leave the building if they displayed unsportsmanlike
conduct......i feel the young players themselves should bring a line
calling problem to the officials attention also if they can do it in a
quiet sportsmanlike way.....

another problem you all might want to comment on is the honest player
who actually plays too many out balls and loses because they were afraid
to call a ball out.....ive seen many a match where a good player has
been afraid to call a serve out or a ball wide and has lost due to fear
of being accused of making bad calls......have any of you seen this?
