I agree, but during the course of the game when those
few questionable calls happen, it would be nice to have the calling official right there for clarification.
I know coaches are tired of hearing me say, "ask the calling official."
Had a game between a team from Utah & Minnesota yesterday. We went tableside on purpose, as our crew had no credibility with either team & we thought it would be good for communication purposes.
When the Minnesota coach wanted to talk after every whistle or non-whistle, we told him to pick his spots. Obviously he never understood what we meant (summer coaches
) so we simply put him on ignore.

But you have to remember that more than half of the scholastic level games played (HS and below) are sub-varsity games. And these games are often officiated by inexperienced officials and coached by inexperienced coaches. When a bang-bang occurs and you then put an inexperienced, possibly rattled, official directly in front of an inexperienced, possibly explosive, coach. . .

Yeah that makes sense for the HS level... I guess we dont know how to end the conversation before the final FT is administered in NCAA-M.
