We also have in our area a basketball coach who is a former, well-respected official who frequently screams at, and impugns, officials. I don't get it. I not only don't get why this coach can act this way having been "on the other side," but I don't get why so many (too many) officials give him such leeway to behave that way.
For what it is worth, we also have a number of former or current officials who are coaching who are a delight to call the game in front of. I guess it just shows that people are people and some people can behave like a$$es no matter what their training.
I'll leave it to others to figure out what it must be like to "great" a coach or to make something "quiet clear" (actions speak louder than words, perhaps?)....
