That is my opinion.

Peace

I agree 100%. The day that a coach can manipulate me is the day I retire from officiating.

This sounds like the robo-official... NEVER affected by a coach!
Has a coach ever ticked you off when you're in a decent mood or made you laugh when you were ticked...? I don't think all manipulation is negative and wrong?
I do know coaches don't usually say: "I'm about to skillfully influence you - watch out"

I had a coach yesterday try to make an issue out of the rule for a disqualification, you think I gave a damn what that coach had to say? Nope.
