There is a misconception that if the rant isn't personally directed at the official that the official shouldn't whack the coach.
WHile I have told non ref friends that the magic word isn't what they think it is, its "YOU" for a laugh, there is a modicum of truth to it. However, its not just that. Its the body language. Its the demeanor. Its the historionics that goes along with the rant that can still draw a Technical even if the rant is not directed at the official but at the call instead.
I had a coach tell me quietly that the last call was "BS", and I let it go. He didn't show me up. He didn't get the crowd wound up. So I just ignored him. He let me know. I heard him. The game went on.
