I agree. I just had questions about the clock and how the lane was handled. I have been coaching for nearly 30 years and will tell you the best officials are the ones who handle players and coaches with compassion. It is obvious that some officials in this group feel attacked when a question is asked by a coach. The fact the team got the ball down the floor in 4-5 seconds on a made basket has nothing to do with it.

The trail official saying it was not good but he has no say made me upset.

I also do officiate - I would of called no foul. BUT this is obviously judgement call and is not open to interpretation. If a judgment call - the official has the call and I guess he made the correct call. We as coaches don't have to agree. Sorry I appeared to be crying.

Thanks for the help and the topic is closed as far as I am concerned.
