[QUOTE2) 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.
If the roles were reversed...and it was an experienced Coach that had the "lower level" or "younger" official doing their game...do you think the Coach would give them "less slack"?
I don't think so...and I agree with Spaman...experienced Officials certainly don't take as much "Howling" from the inexperienced Coach who may or may not be "trying just as hard and putting in just as much time."
Also...I have fun talking with the players, but they must show the utmost respect. I have Zero tolerance for players who show disrespect to anyone during the game.
Of course the Coach gets more rope...it is his choice how much he wants to use before the "hanging".
