I don't have a problem with ignoring the coach for the last 10 seconds, but hbio, don't ever follow that last piece of crap advice...

The OP admitted it was a bad game. He had already called about 6 technicals in the game. It didn't appear that the coaches was doing their part very well either to help makes things better. Nope, I told him he couldn't stand, he stood up anyway. That's not smart coaching. You demand the best out of me, how about you do your part. I would never tell anyone to cheat, shame on you for suggesting such a thing on a referee board. However, my judgment might be persuaded one way or the other depending on the circumstances. For example; if I got a real good game, I might call that marginal foul a foul, team/players earned it, however, under the same token, I'm at the end of a game that has gone bad, a marginal foul might not get called at all, it's my judgment. Game! Next! or go home.
Consider this if you will, you want me to call a 2-shot foul in a 2-point game with 10 seconds left that could potentially tie the game and send it to overtime, in a game that's gone bad! You think about that! We got coaches that don't respect your authority, players that are undiscipline. Survival skills young man, survival of the fittest and something they won't tell you out here but I will be honest with you, survival is really for the smartest. And last, I will preference this with, if I'm making $1200 per official for the game, we're playing it out and I'm ignoring the coach in the last 10 seconds. On the other hand, if I'm making $20 for the game, game over! Survival skills....
