I'm not saying you haven't seen it, because unfortunately, umpires like this do exist.
But, on the flip side of the coin, consider that there can be a difference between "umpire calling an out because he's ready to go home" and "an umpire calling an out on a judgement call that I as a coach disagree with". The former is annoying, unprofessional, and a disservice to everyone involved; the later is a fundamental aspect of the coach/umpire dynamic. And from a coaches perspective, I imagine that it can be difficult to differentiate between the two.
