Well duh...it doesn't make for good television if they showed positive interactions between coach/players and referee. 
This reminds me a story Charles Barkley told one time where he told Dick Barvetta (I think), that he was going to make it appear as if he was chewing him out yet he was complementing him. Announcers were there really thinking Charles was giving Barvetta the business.
