It seems to me that the more you make the correct call and you can explain it the more a coach either accepts what you have to say or does/says something worthy of a T. What I don't like about a partner "settling down a coach" is that is seems like someone is consoling a coach as if something wrong was done to the coach. The coaches have a responsibility to coach the game, they do not have a right to yell at us and it is not part of what they should do every game. I have no problem answering questions all night long within reason. Once we go beyond reason I'm through and I will not answer comments. Continually talking to a coach for every whistle will take away our focus. I'm not saying anyone said we should talk to a coach all night but I have seen it. I have told a few coaches in a rec environment that once we blow our whistle it is what it is. Any communication that is not in the form of a calm question cannot turn out positive for the coach, period. I'm not saying it will automatically result in a T, I'm saying there isn't any good that can come of it.
