BTW, many coaches have also said the current level of contact permitted is fine. As long as it is called consistently from game to game and from official to official, they'll coach their players to deal with it accordingly.

Jim, a coach who complains about a late whistle to me has lost his credibility. All I do is tell them they must agree with the call since they can only complain about the timing. I never explain further.
And I agree, if coaches accept the game is being called the same way both ends they are fine with that. Regardless of the level of contact.
Just make sure it's being called the same way both ends.
