I think the umpires who worry too much about the coaches and the fans are simply insecure about their position as umpire. No one likes catching he11 from anyone, especially from a coach when you just made a great call.
Though at the same time, no umpire likes getting that phone call the next day from their assignor, asking them, "so what's the deal with this team, and why am I being asked not to assign you to them again?"
Fortunately, my assignor and I have a good relationship, and he's good at separating the BS from the facts.
