When you implied that I would make a decision regardless of rules support, was questioning my integrity as an official, in my opinion. Granted, I may have been overly sensitive, but integrity is a huge part of my profession.

When we call Ts, officials usually have to explain them.

This poses another problem. I have continually expressed that I would not have handled this with a 'T' yet, you still imply that I would. That is simply not the case. That changes the whole scenario.

Coaches want anything called that is going to benefit them. And I do not need to hear what a coach says to change or develop my opinion on this. This situation raises more issues that can become bigger issues if you do what you suggest.

You are reading far more into this than is here. I would take any and all talk from coaches and other officials to improve my ability to make the right call. I am not too proud to admit that I've been wrong and a coach has been right. In Kansas, coaches attended the very same rules meetings as did the officials. They, for the most part, at least understand the rules.
Let me be clear that any personal reflection of what a coach says would occur
after the game and not during the game. I would never change my call due to a coaches input during a game.
