As for the ignoring part, coaches do deserve a (short) answer to a question imo. What they don't deserve is a long discussion holding up play or an argument about a call or non-call. |
While for the most part I agree, what coaches will notice about officials is when they are lazy/don't hustle/can't physically get it done. Frankly, it's also one of my pet peeves.
That said, "out of position" may mean an official further away making a call (even if it happens to be his call).
