Sorry Sometimes I just can't help it.

In regard to your original question, I work some games in your area as well (Trout, Wing, Judson, Larkin) and I haven't really noticed any "trend" or anything "unusual" either with regard to coaches' reactions to Obs/Int calls.

My personal observation is that if the umpire calls it correctly & decisively, and then administers the penalty correctly and decisively, he rarely gets much "buzz" from the coaches. If he appears indecisive or "fumbles" the ultimate ruling, it's like throwing chum in shark infested waters.
