Is this the norm?

So sick of this.
If the coach truly felt they were getting worked by the refs, then this should be used as a teaching moment for life in general. His message was to quit. Pick up your ball and literally leave. No respect for people that do this.

However, this has been building for years. Star players and teams and coaches increasingly are willing to argue, act demonstratively, and otherwise do the job of the referee. I want to say it started in the late 80's with Pistons bad boy basketball and has filtered down to all levels. The pressure to keep star players in the game and let "players play" intensifies every year. Where does it stop?
