If a sports official allowed such a perception to affect them in such a manner, I would have to question how solid an official s/he was to begin.

I respect your opinion, but I too disagree with you.
I know several very good balls, strikes, out, safe and mechanical umpires who I'd go anywhere with except for their crappy attitudes towards the game. They are bigger than the game and try to "show their stuff" during the game. To me, that gives off stuck up and egomaniacal attitude that turns coaches off (and it really does, trust me).
