Basketball is a very fast paced very emotional game. Officiating the game is very subjective; as is obvious from the thousands of threads and thousands of posts in this forum. If it was cut and dried there wouldn't be a need for boards such as this. Unfortunatley, coaches and fans tend to see things through one way glasses. When things are not going their way they get upset and eventually disrespectful. How often do you here a coach,or fan, complain about a "wrong" call against the other team.
Once the heat of battle is over the disrespect subsides. Many time I am ask by coaches and fans about rules, my opinions, etc... concerning the game of basketball. It's the heat of the moment and our competitive nature that leads to brief moments of disrespect by coaches, fans, and yes, we officials.
