Let me give it the ole liberal arts college try.
I can't speak to pro or university levels because other than some college scrimmages I've never done work at those levels. At youth and school levels, the way I would phrase it is that the players, coaches and officials are all stakeholders in the game designed to be played by young people. As a result if there are issues, confusion or learning needs to take place the expectation is the stakeholders can collaborate despite discrepancies in power/role, on coming to an understanding that improves the product and experience.
