I understand, as an official, that there are many shades of gray in officiating basketball, and all I try for as an official is to be consistent from the tip to the final horn and that's all I ask for from the officials who call the games I coach in.
IMO, if coaches knew half the rules of the game, then they would realize that the officials know more than they think we know.
