Well there is a reason for no one asking. Coaches are much smarter and seasoned then most HS coaches. I personally have never heard a college coach b!tch the same way a HS coach does. Part of that reason is because being a college coach is a "real" job. This is all they do. They have to know the rules or be intelligent enough to realize when to complain and not to complain. Unless you are a Jim Keedy (Purdue Coach, I might have spelled his name wrong.) or Bobby Knight, you might not be complaining about a whole lot. And I know that Bobby K gets a bad reputation in places like here, but Officials that have done games with them have the upmost respect for him. And usually the stories that they tell of an encounter with Knight is very minimal and short. Most coaches are not going to be huffing and puffing over a carry call. And if they do they are only going to make a big issue at certain times in the game.

Peace
