Well, trying to always think positive, I'm going to believe that a "good job" comment means just that, then forget about it and move on....
After about 25 yrs of playing mens softball, and 8 yrs of coaching sons in basketball, I never told the official "good job" if I didnt mean it. When I felt the official wasnt on top of his game, so to speak, I didnt say anything to him at game end. But I see your point.
Back to the OP? Each coach is different in; background, experience, age, team ability, their record, his bb job pressure, so--this question is unanswerable...
