Most coaches will admit, in a non game situation that without exception, officials try to call the games fair. yet, during the game they act as though we are being paid to make the outcome different.
Then the game ends, and the same coaches will say "good game ref", like nothing happened. If we acted like them, we would be banned from the sport!!!

Uhh, they're emotional and have a vested interest in the outcome of the game? That's why you have to take everything they say with a grain of salt. Listen to them and respond if necessary (If asked a question), but remember that they are usually venting. Who else are they going to let out their steam on? They should let it out on their players for playing so badly, but some of them won't do that, so they use you for it. Just take it in stride, it isn't personal. (Most of the time)
