Don't shoot the messenger!

Absolutely insane! Is there a limit to how many times this can happen in a game? Is there any consequence for the coach being wrong, which he almost inevitably will be? I'd suggest a finger. Once the coach is out of those, no more protests (unless he wants to offer another part of his anatomy. . .).
