Most of us do not have to assume, most of the time their comments are with some other motive. If that was not the case, they would ask legitimate questions without the suggestion you got something wrong. And much of the time it is with a total understanding of the rules or our mechanics. I think most veterans can tell when a question is legitimate based on the tone and the type of question. But we all know there are coaches that only complain on every call that does not go their way. I know we are not perfect, but ever call is not up for debate.
