I would understand them complaining, but they are not going to be disrespectful.

This may be a dumb question in some jurisdictions, but in mine our administration of the game is a little more liberal. I'm curious as to what some more experienced officials think.
I will always lend an ear to a coach about any call as long as they are respectful. Even if the call is good or bad they need to still be professional and show respect.

Peace
