Do you really want to go there? The rulebook says a lot of things and as officials we do not penalize every situation because it says so in the rulebook. I hope there is more to this discussion than whether the rulebook states something about complaining or not.

It's called mentoring.

It is the experienced officialÂ’s job to help, not do it for them. If I had officials always getting coaches off my back, I would never have learned to do it myself. We also do not know about what was said and what was not said. I agree that an experienced official can protect a younger official to some extent, but they cannot stop all comments or even know when that situation is taking place. Coaches can make comments without yelling all over the court.
