It worked too, they closed the gap and all we heard from him the rest of the game was him instructing his team.

Wow, that's excellent. I gotta remember that one. Thanks, BZ.
Do coaches intentionally push an official to see how much he can get away with? Do they simply not respect an official until the official stands up to him? Or do they really think constant badgering will actually help? Because all it does for me is distract me and make it harder for me to concentrate.
