I completely agree JoeT. Just because an official does not respond does not mean a coach should go off because of it. An official might not respond to not seem confrontational or to put fuel on the fire so to speak. An official might be more concerned with the game and does not have an opportunity to respond.

The bottom line the coaches should behave properly regardless of what an official says or does not say.

Rut,
...But I don't think PA Coach was saying that he'd get worse if we were too busy.
I thought he was saying he would get better, if we at least grunted at him.

You're right Mick. It doesn't take much effort when running past the bench to say to the coach over your shoulder "I hear you, Coach." It lets him know that you aren't ignoring him and I'm sure that that is what PACoach was referring to. A good coach will usually let it go at that.
