Actually, I agree with canuckrefguy. Most coaches don't think your cheating, they believe that somehow the calls are just going against them for no apparent reason. You would not believe how many coaches I talk to that explain a loss by saying every call down the stretch went against them. And they don't think the ref cheated, they just think the ref somehow only missed calls when his player got fouled or made questionable foul calls when his player played good defense.
So yes, do believe that you change the nature of a conversation by bringing cheating up. Realize I am not asking you to be silent, I am just saying that there are many ways you can shut this kind of comment down without putting your personal integrity or a perceived slight to it into explicit question, when the question has been indirect at best until you bring it up explicitly.
