I don't have conflict with coaches. I don't have conflicts with my assignors. Coach wants to scratch me? OK, there are plenty of other games for me to work where I'm wanted and appreciated. I also would not want to burden my partners with a situation like that. When there is a personality conflict between a coach and an official, it takes mental energy from the entire crew to manage it. That mental energy is better spent focused on the game.

There are no noblemen amongst coaches, officials, assignors, and AD's. All normal human beings. Coaches scratching officials is stupid. But officials can take the high road, and it's not that big of a deal.
