Oh come on. The ref makes a call that goes against the home team. The fans don't like it 'cause they're biased and you're penalizing their team. The coach doesn't like it, so he starts playing to the crowd and criticizing the ref for a call many of the fans don't like and probably think he got wrong. Even if they're undecided, the coaches gives validation that the call was wrong. And it wasn't like he cursed or threw a chair onto the floor. So if you whack him, the crowd is going to think that you're over-reacting. In short, you're a "reactionary jerk," at least in their eyes.
Of course I never said whether you should or shouldn't care about what the crowd thinks. But life is always easier when everybody can see the coach earn the T
