I made a bad call and want to give him some slack.
A tech is a big call and I don't want my assignor/the AD to not assign me games in the future.
I want the coach's vote for the state tournament (varies by state).
I was focused on something else and didn't realize he was yelling at me.
2 points and the ball is a big deal, especially at the end of a close game.

Officials in basketball have a lot of ways to respond to a coach. For one they can be next to them and respond. Not everything is about not willing to do something, there are other tools in the shed.
BTW, not everyone has to worry about a coach deciding your playoff fate. That never comes into play in my thinking. Coaches can rate us, but they are one rating. Who cares what they think.
