My experience has been that the lower in level that you officiate, the more the coaches have received their "training" from the ESPN Sportcenter Bobby Knight temper tantrum coaching academy.
So much is said in college and NBA broadcasts about "working the refs" that these mostly new coaches believe they must scream and yell at the refs, just like Bobby and friends, as part of their coaching duties.
As these coaches move up the ladder to HS JV and Varsity and beyond, they seem to realize the difference in the game on TV and the one in their gym.
I don't mean this as a blanket over all MS coaches, but I have seen this often enough to believe it exists.
