I absolutely disagree.
Asking the coach "Will you practice good sportsmanship throughout the game?" is not the same as "will you make good calls throughout the game?" The coach wasn't asked, "Will you call good plays, make good adjustments on defense, and make good substitutions throughout the game?"
If he wants to ask the official, "Will you promte good sportsmanship throughout the game?" that's fine. But he shouldn't become offended by such a question.
