It's possible we hear too much. Coaching a kid for "good defense" when he's just been whistled for a foul is not automatically a dig at the refs. As mentioned, coaches use the "encouragement" to motivate a kid to continue to keep trying and also at times to keep a kid from "blaming the refs". Regardless, trust the coach to "coach" and trust you and your partner to "call the game".
Absolutely there are "bad" coaches and there are "good" coaches, but there are also misunderstood coaches as well. Try not to get too involved in figuring out which coach is which - time will tell, just as it does with officiating. Good coaches (and officials) are not made or broken in a single night or by a single call.
