I didn't say he would "think about calming a coach down". I said he would be a "calming inlfuence" meaning:
1- He wouldn't be defensive because he didn't make the call
2- He wouldn't be able to answer questions because he didn't make the call
3- It would be short discussion because he didn't make the call
His presence in that position as opposed to the calling official is going to change the dynamics of the situation in most instances.
