I'd rather the exception be going to a coach when I feel it is necessary, and the rule being to call a foul, report it, and get back to monitoring the players without interruption from the sideline.

Coaches need to spend more time coaching and less time lobbying and whining.
I have no desire to talk to a coach after a call. Just like you, they need to make it known and often they do not know how to act when I give them an answer. I actually like going opposite table more in the end because it takes some steam out of making the call because I do not have to stay and talk to them. I have done the same thing when they are adamant about a call, I have talked to them. Usually does not much good because it is a debate on their part. I have never seen an official change the call even when you know you blew it like on this call.

Peace
