No, I think it is you who don't have a clue.

There's a big difference between getting along with a coach and sucking around a coach. You don't seem to understand that. That's not surprising.

Who said anything about sucking up to a coach. I challenge you to show me where I stated this. I said communicating with a coach. Communicating doesn't have to mean sucking up. Perhaps the biggest thing to learn as a veteran official is the art of communication. Sometimes you might have to lower that hammer and be the sheriff, and when that time comes you have better make that switch quick or you will be in trouble.
On the other hand, you can not walk around half-cocked like JR everytime you take the floor either. You will end up like Joey Crawford who now has a permanent bad mark on his record. There is a balance that we have to stride for in communications. More can never hurt you but being too hard nose can and will.
I have no clue what you are talking about JRUT. I can not imagine an assigner tossing a referee out because a coach recommended him. That is extreme and I don't think we can get very many assigners to come out here and admit to that.
