The passive aggressive I'm not talking to you thread.

I'm ok with passing out a T for some accumulation of BS, provided there is at any point a tipping point that I can point to at say to my self they've had enough rope and a line has been crossed.

Do you have any experience with coaches that don't complain about calls or non calls directly but is clearly trying to work officials through instructions to their kids.

ie. "Challenge his footwork . . . its ok they'll catch it next time." "You have to fight through the holds/hand checks". "Just because he is hand fighting doesn't make it ok for you to get held up." etc.

We've got a local coach that this is apparently their new thing. Won't ask for clarification or openly complain to us about calls. However all game long is giving instructions/feedback to his players specific to the what he sees being called and not called. He's never actually been confrontational but I can only hear him tell his kids to keep playing or get tougher in light of something he sees as the other team getting away with before I feel like it has to get dealt with.
