This has been my experience. I T'd a coach last year for being out of his box, verbally disagreeing with a call, and waving his hands at me in disgust. I haven't been back to that school since then and probably won't be. I was taking the rule to heart and thought I could change things single-handedly
(I know, my mistake!)

Now that that is off my chest, I'll listen to a coach until:
1- He gets personal.
2- He starts to interfere with my job.
3- He gets out of his box while chirping.
Then he'll get a warning, or he'll get popped.

I think this type of officiating is pretty common and I agree the the POE's are a joke. Later last season, I started using your criteria. It seemst that a lot of attention is given to POE's but it rarely helps!
