These guys didn't officiate advantage/disadvantage. In their minds, contact = foul. We had 60+ fouls in a game between two well-coached teams from big schools. The game had no flow, and after a while, I didn't have any more answers when the coaches asked me, "Stan, what the (heck) was that?" on some of the mystery calls.
[/B][/QUOTE]When you get into these situations, I don't think that you should really try to supply answers. The most that I would ever say to a coach would be something like "Coach,he had a good view of it. If you have a question, ask him later". Personally,I try to keep away from the benches when they want to discuss my partners. That way I don't have to hear something that I don't wanna hear. I don't care how bad the call was,if the coach insults my partner,demeans him in any way ,or goes over
my personal line in any way, then I'm gonna nail him. I think that the best thing you can do when you're stuck in a situation like this is just stay stone-faced and never do anything that would suggest that you might agree with a coach that your partners are screwing up.There's nothing the matter with admitting that you might have blown a call, but the guy that blew the call should be the only official on the floor doing that admitting.
