HS Varsity, JC and D1.
You'll see coaches just rail at officials from either four feet away, or across the court.
It's not an ego thing, just common courtesy. The level of #@$ taken in other sports is far beyond that of what we deem acceptable on the diamond. I mean, we dump on the first blathering of "...YOU....", whereas other officials just act like they don't even hear it. I just find it odd.
Maybe it's a baseball thing, and we've got it all wrong. You see far more ejections in baseball than all other sports. So why is that?
