All of these factors add to the "ease" of officiating the game. What looks simple to the observer with 3 good, experienced officials, may be a disaster if the game had 3 relative newbies on crew.

Coaches are usually better too. The fact that the coaches at the varsity and college levels, ususally had to work some years to get that job, this makes our job as an official much easier. And even when the coach is very new to that level, they will pick up on how their peers are acting and fall in line. It makes our job so much easier when a coach is complaining at appropriate times, rather than trying to contest ever foul and violation.
