Isn't it odd how the dynamics of official/coach interaction seem to differ from sport to sport?
In baseball, managers seem to have no qualms about coming all the way out, getting in your face and taking their sweet time about making their displeasure known.
In basketball, because of the proximity between them and us, you get a little of that, but rarely is it to the same degree.
In football, the space seems wider, there are more of us than there are in other sports, and I can't remember seeing too many instances where a coach (besides Bill Cowher) goes after an official.
Just interesting to note.
I have my last sophomore game tonight, last night of the regular season, and I'm going to make a conscious effort to remain calm at all times and not do anything to antagonize anybody.
