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.
Fair enough, but to suggest that anytime a coach scratches an official, for any reason, that the assigner is better serving everyone by agreeing is myopic.
