So, yes, you were the one that mentioned coaches.

And this is exactly what most of us have been commenting on - we should never blow the whistle because it's a hard screen, because someone's injured, because it's a tie game, or because the coach might get on our case. We should blow the whistle because a foul occured. It's a simple, but subtle difference.
