The coaches generally have a much better understanding of what the officials are trying to do on the floor and thus the game can be called a little differently.

Jmo, but if you pulled something like that at the D1 level, you'd be pulled yourself shortly thereafter. I just can't see supervisors putting up with a "gonna get you back" philosophy at that level. You'd lose any credibility and respect that you had from the coaches.
