Fianlly, I feel that the differences between what referees call can be a big issue. I have a fairly thick skin and can take a lot of chriping before I throw a tech, but this doesn't suit everybody. I had a partner a couple of games ago that t'd a coach for the comment "C'mon ref, both ends" after a 3 second call, because it implied that he was biased!

To me, that is over the top, but I would like to hear others opinions on this. (And sorry that this post is so long).
Not to me. It doesn't imply anything. A coach who yells at you to "Call it the same at both ends!" is calling you a cheat. He probably won't get a T from me if that's the first thing he's said, but he'll get a warning or a stop sign. Comments like that question your integrity, whether the coach understands it that way or not.
