This statement is true for coaches and players as well. Don't get me wrong, I have been coaching a lot longer than officiating. And I understand where you're coming from. But I've seen many players and coaches (myself included) who've screwed up in the critical final minutes of a game. As an official, I believe that I take more pride in being as good as possible at the end than I ever do as a coach.
