I don't think you are saying anything new. Many of us (me included) have said for years, there are officials out there that refuse to issue unsportsmanslike penalties to coaches because their "vote" is riding on it. I work four sports and see it in all of them. I would rather work the game right, than get into the tourney because I let a coach get away with being a jerk. But, I still see guys who would rather cut their arm off before they T (Or card, or DQ) a coach or player. It is just life, and we have to adjust until someone other than the coaches has a say in who gets hired.
