+1. I think when hiring coaches one of the skill sets required is ability to complain when things don't go their way, and the inability to accept things for what they are.

I had a great discussion before half time ended yesterday with a coach regarding a no-call on a PC foul or no call where the offensive player created some contact, the defender barely was dislodged a step back, the offensive player falls off balance and puts up an errant air ball that the defense recovered.

Could it have been a PC? yes. But I didn't think the level of contact created enough advantage for the offensive player to warrant a whistle. The coach could not accept that.
