I've had Major League umpires give me the finger during games, I've had NCAA officials give me the cut it out sign. As a Minor League P. A. announcer, I've even been warned about the music but do it to the point that I can't be run and if I am, I have a great "back-up".
Sounds to me like there's more than one "big head" at work here. Dial down the arrogance, the one-upmanship, and the finger pointing, and maybe your situations will improve.

Sorry to sound defensive, but it can't be all the officials' fault, here.
