The old school philosophy was to show the teams who was in charge, AND to show that the umpire truly was impartial and didn't hold a grudge etc.
It really did work and made the point that the teams didn't get to pick and choose who worked their games.
For the ump, it required that you put your attitude away and work that much harder to have a good game.

I agree with this philosophy 100%. Don't shy away and give in to the coach.
