You may be right, Chess. You also might not be right. Good officials just call what happens out there. That may mean that they might call several fouls in a row that may look like they're going in favor of a coach that just finished pissing and moaning at them, but those calls may also have been the correct calls too. We- you and I- don't really know for sure unless we we were on the floor with the official and had first-hand knowledge. It's almost impossible to decide what exactly is going on in these situations without actually being there. Officials who work at the D1 level are constantly being monitored and evaluated. Any official who might be prone to bending to pressure from a coach just isn't gonna last very long at that level.
PS- don't forget that there isn't a ref in the world that hasn't and won't miss or blow a call. Don't mistake that with making-up calls either. Jmo.
