Question

One of the non-officiating forums I visit has a post where an official calls out a coach by name, mentions what he thinks is the coach's bad conduct towards officials, and ends with a comment about looking forward to calling one of his upcoming games.

Maybe it's just me, but this seems to go against the consensus of what I've seen here, that even with a rather troublesome coach, the slate starts clean each game, just so that the "this official has it in for me" argument has less chance of being valid.

What's some of the ways our esteemed officials here practice their game management skills when dealing with chronically troublesome coaches, aside from not working their games {Somehow, I doubt berating them on public messageboards is top on the list}
