Communication with coaches is very important. If I make a call and the coach wants to vent I can take the heat.
Tommy, you're missing my point. It's not about the courage or the competance of the officials. It's not about taking heat. It's about accountability on the part of the coaches.

In HS, you have many coaches with little or no professionalism. HS coaches go off all the time with literally no just cause. They misunderstand the call, the rule, the situation, whatever. . . The best way to avoid that situation is to have the calling official go opposite, that's my only point.
