Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I've had junior high coaches who were so clueless that I had to laugh and then give them a little education. They thought that it was OK to "work" the refs because the only hoops they knew of was the NBA on TV.

"Hey coach, you are not allowed to walk the sidelines nor are you allowed to argue with calls. By the way, there are no illegal defense calls under high school rules nor do your players get six fouls."

At the Jr. High level, the schools often have a hard time finding coaches and it shows. I expect High School coaches to know the rules. If I have a Jr. High coach who doesn't have a clue, sometimes it does more good to work with him/her than to give a T right off the bat.
