As Jurassic said, it depends on the individual.

A few years ago we had a game with a coach that was a former official (and not a very good one in the opinion of many). During the game he was periodically sniping about calls and finally late Q2 my partner warned him (stop sign & "that's enough coach").

Early Q3 as I'm transitioning along the sideline table side, he yells at me "If you don't start calling what I'm telling you I'm going to call XXXX(our assignor) personally. I simply stopped, blew my whistle and signaled the "T", asked if he would like the phone number, then stepped out to report the foul. Towards the end of Q3, my partner hit him with his 2nd "T" when he came off the bench and took a step onto the court screaming about something. I think he got tossed 3 or 4 times that season.....
