Coach Berating Players

Now you are getting into site management! Yes, we can request police/AD's/administrator to remove unruly spectators and that's usually the way it happens because they rarely will do it on their own. But players, coaches and bench personnel are under our jurisdiction. If we penalize a coach and after the game the administration decides to suspend him from coaching for a while that's up to them. But if the coach's behavior needs to be addressed and you feel it is not your concern, go ahead. Request the police, AD, principal or custodian to come out and take care of it for you.

I didn't say you treat the two situations the same, I was pointing out that officials do not have to handle everything going on in the gym themselves.

I don't have a strong opinion either way.

If a coach is doing something inappropriate, then that is on them to not have them coach. Not our job and nothing you are going to say is going to change that basic feeling. Now if you want to do something, be my guest. But to suggest that this is our role and never telling us what is "inappropriate" in most cases just does not do it for me. There are a lot of things people find wrong that are not easily defined.
