That's really what I find amazing anymore. You watch a game - any game- mens/womans, don't matter- and both coaches will be working the refs. It's almost like they honestly feel that they
have to, or that the officials will be giving the opposing coach some kind of advantage if they don't. They must know that they can't really influence the guys/gals that they are getting at the D1 level. Most officials that have made it to that level are strong personalities, and sureashell aren't gonna be intimidated in any way, shape or form. If they could, then those people wouldn't be getting any respect at all in the leagues that they're working in, and they'd be gone within a year. Doesn't stop the coaches though. I think that they honestly feel that if they put on an act and get their fans on the refs at the same time, they might come out of it with some kind of advantage.
Watch the Pat & Gino show tonight, and you'll see what I mean. They're a hoot to watch. It's almost like the fate of civilization depends on whether a travel gets called or not. And when the game's over, get your moderator hat on. I can almost guarantee that, if the game is close, the losing fanboys will be showing up.
