There are coaches that don't know what the heck they are doing and don't know when to quit. There are similar officials. I've encountered more rude coaches than refs in my career, but that doesn't mean I haven't seen any. And as others have pointed out, there is indeed a dichotomy. For example, if someone had posted that "A coach said that a ref called the worst game ever," none of us would bat an eyelash. But when it's reversed, it's headline news.
