If you're a member of the RA, contact them. That's what they are there for.
Don’t be Nervous stand & look the fella in the eye & get it dealt with.
I would say the opposite, look the player / coach in the eye when you first arrive, but once the hearing starts I wouldn't recommend it. He can't talk to you directly, and if the defendant wants to ask a question of you he can only do it through the chairman who will then ask you. For that reason your response is to the chairman, so it is him you should be looking at.
