I agree. We will never be able to change the mentally of the coaches, parents, fans and children of disrespecting the officials and ultimately the game if more officials do not stand their ground. When this action is allowed, the children think that it is acceptable behavior. IMO the fans, parents and children feed directly off the action of the coaches. Simply put, they follow his lead. If the coach would respect the officials, then I believe the crowd would follow suite.
