An exchange of words with an official bothers you more than a turnover? It seems that you would be more concerned with the issue over which you have some control.

I coached one game (USA team vs a canada team during an exercise in Canada) and one game was enough. I don't think I would say a coach has control over turnovers. I felt like coaching was a very helpless job; I couldn't go out on the court and do what I was asking to do (I could, just not during that game).
But I think JAR does have a good point. It is kind of interesting that you this comment would be your pet peeve above something that happens multiple times every game.
I will offer this: a very esteemed official presented the case that the stop sign should be replaced by a more two-handed defensive posture. This is meant to seem more on the defense and not look aggressive like the stop sign. He got this method directly from his other job as an evaluator at Wizards games. I know we don't do NBA games, but I think it warrants some thought. I'm not a big into using the stop sign anyway.
