Just illustrating roles. You don't have to like them.

Of course it't the other guy's lawyer that's the problem - yours is doing a fine job defending you.

Lawyers are not judges. They are advocates for their clients. They have a legal and moral responsibility to present their client's case as favorably as possible.

That's not all, though, they also have obligations to the law, ethically and legally.

Coaches have more obligation, IMO, than trying to get every favorable ruling they can. They're also teaching kids.

I know how to deal with coaches like this, I see them all the time at lower levels of basketball. That doesn't make them good coaches. It does, however, shed a light on their lower character traits.

We have a small number of HS coaches around here who would not argue a point to gain an advantage when they know the point they would be arguing is wrong. They also don't question judgement calls very often, and when they do it is best to listen, because more than likely you blew it. These guys are well known and respected.
