Another factor not discussed yet: For the most part, coaching (at least HS level or above) is a career path. The same individuals who rant and cuss you out sometimes are dependent on this job as their living (or at least a substantial part of it). It's not an excuse for poor sportsmanship or boorish behavior, but it helps explain why they can get out of hand.
Another losing season may cost them their job. ..their star player fouling out may cost them a win.
I once read here (can't remeber the author): "Understand that this is a vocation for them...USUALLY an avocation for us. There is a difference."
