"Call it both ways" is coach-speak for ....
"I don't have a clue how to coach my players and I need to find a scapegoat."
My attitude about statements like call it both ways is..."When a coach is chipping at the officials s/he has given up on their players' ability to win. S/he has given them an excuse to accept losing before the game has ended."
If it is incessant whining about a call, I am more direct. (Universal "stop sign"), "Coach, I have heard enough. Focus on your players." Then you have to T the coach if they chirp any more.
