Agree. But, unfortunately, they're still out there officiating, and are sometimes our partners.
But even our best "game management" officials still have to occasionally eject some coaches.
Just like we have some poor "game management" officials, we also have some poor "game management" coaches that end up being ejected despite the best "game management" practices of the best "game management" officials.
Especially here in Connecticut.

I've been very lucky in my forty-plus year career.
I've never driven home from a game thinking, "I should have ejected that coach".
However, I will admit that I have driven home from a few games regretting not charging a few technical fouls.
Live and learn.
