Most officials I know would talk to any coach that comes to them in a calm and responsible manner. I guess people feel because you yell at the top of your lungs and call the person names that will make officials want to talk to you. I have told coaches "I am not talking to you until you learn how to talk to me." Usually that gets the message across and it really makes no difference what they are yelling about. I do completely agree that most of the time the coaches are the ones causing the problem. I cannot say I have seen officials yelling at coaches for things that take place in the game. It just does not happened that way.
