IMHO
In most cases I will reply to any "both ends" complaints by pointing out that if both teams were fouling (or violating or whatever) then of course I will blow it at both ends.
This is the same way I respond to complaints about the difference between the number of fouls that have been called on each team. As a coach I know that this is frustrating, and shows most coaches what they perceive to be a clear disparity in the refereeing. Personally, I believe most "both ends" comments are borne out of frustration rather than attempting to say that the refs are cheating, to me they are on a par with everyone's favourite "1.2.3, c'mon Three seconds, how long..."
