I do not think it is so much about what coaches see called. I think coaches have a fundamental misunderstanding of most rules and think something has been missed. Similar to the JH game I worked the other day and a coach wanted a "moving screen" with a player that had absolutely no contact but the made it clear a rule was violated in their mind.

Remember, coaches are used to telling everyone what to do and then they come in contact with a group of people that know something more than them and most do not have the ability to realize that is the case. Most cannot fathom that reality and that is why they argue. Of course there are officials that incorrectly make these calls, but that is because it is easier to go with what you "know" than read and figure out what the actual rule is in the book.

Peace
