I go over the report and coach isn't pleased. I admit it was late, but it was the right call. Coach then proceeds to explain "I ref and the rule book says you don't call a foul that late." 
I'm of the school that if you officiate, especially at a high level, you should know better than bark and chirp at an official as it can be a difficult game to call. However, thinking a coaches mindset will change because they officiate sometimes doesn't change the end result of their behavior.... |
What I'd want to say, "Coach, you throw a garbage rule like that at me again and I'll call a technical foul."
What I'd actually do is ignore him and tune him out. If he gets my attention again, it had better be for a timeout.
