My personal take is that I don't penalize a coach simply for being stupid. I don't T the coach who yells "3 seconds!!" all night, b/c he's just stupid. Likewise, I don't bother with the coach who says "Look at the fouls!!" for the same reason. If he curses at me while he's complaining, or if he openly challenges my objectivity, then that's a different matter. But as the opening post of the thread said, a simple "Are you calling me a cheater, Coach?" reminds him that he's being stupid and usually takes care of it.
