You are absolutely right when saying that the coaches know what they are doing...and they are trying to find a "friend" on our officiating crew when they want to "discuss" their T. Nope...sorry! No friend here! I'm NOT an enemy...but I'm not a friend either. I'm the rules arbitrator of the game...just trying to keep peace the best I can...and trying to call the game the best I can.
If the coach wants to be friends...then he can see me after the game. We can talk at length about anything he wants to...AFTER THE GAME.

First, if you adjust the amount of listening, you DON'T agree with him you are agreeing with me.
Show me how what I said was a conversation. I said, "The non-calling official tells the coach to sit and stays at the division line and watches the players." If the coach wants to use this time to talk it out to calm down, fine. If they want to act like an idiot, they'll get another T from the other official, the height of crew "loyalty".
Second, if a coach is trying to manipulate you by getting a sympathetic ear, I sure hope you don't have that team again after that at length conversation after the game!
