Spaman_29,

You made some interesting and insightful points. I take a different view on some of them though:

1) To me, it doesn't matter if a call is controversial or not...I still have the same expectations of coach behavior. However...if I think I might have blown the call, I might let a little more deserved venting go on. Is that what you meant?
2) I don't think it's fair to give less slack to a coach at a lower level or because they are younger. They try just as hard and put in just as much time.
3) I've always been taught that the ref who gives the "T" should go administer the foul shots. That gets them as far away from the venting coach as possible. Also, if there is a second "T" to be given, your partner can give it so the coach doesn't think that just one ref was picking on him/her.
