I know your friend. He's a typical coach.

Jurassic,
Trust me, he is anything but TYPICAL...
You are ABSOLUTELY correct in this case.
My point is that one of the most common things we hear from coaches, spectators, players, etc., is "just be consistent." The fact is, this "just" request is one of the most challenging skills that officials/referees/umpires of all sports learn only through games and games of experience.
