I'll never understand why coaches are given such power -- it's not like they can go down to the grocery store and pull competent officials off a shelf.

Well, coaches do seem to have much more to lose (financially and perhaps career wise) than we h.s. officials.
Most h.s. officials I know are not full time referees. They hold down full time jobs away from the court.
These coaches jobs are usually on the line year to year, contract to contract based on wins and losses. No, it's not the NBA where a firing happens at the whim of the owner (AD), but, it's similar in that regard.
Coaches are out there representing their school, drawing a salary and trying to win. We are out there having fun and picking up a $70 check for our ubiased efforts.
