Take aways
So...
After 5 pages of coach trying to work the refs on this forum, the biggest take away for me is the following.
1. Any attempt by a coach perceived as "working" or "influence peddling" will most likely be met with resistance and disdain.
2. Continued pining and follow-up lead to an escalation with the general result of it getting personal by both parties. Need proof? Look at this thread as an example in miniature of the whole concept...
3. There is a greater chance of success "working" your team to adjust to the calling style of the officials than "working" the officials to adjust to the playing style of your team.
