C’mon, man. Your point was good and then you had to go there.

High School coaches tend to fly off the damn handle unnecessarily. You can be right in front of them and you do not want to talk to them at all.

I'd rather the exception be going to a coach when I feel it is necessary, and the rule being to call a foul, report it, and get back to monitoring the players without interruption from the sideline.

Coaches need to spend more time coaching and less time lobbying and whining.

I have no desire to talk to a coach after a call. Just like you, they need to make it known and often they do not know how to act when I give them an answer. I actually like going opposite table more in the end because it takes some steam out of making the call because I do not have to stay and talk to them. I have done the same thing when they are adamant about a call, I have talked to them. Usually does not much good because it is a debate on their part. I have never seen an official change the call even when you know you blew it like on this call.

That happened to me the other night. "Inadvertent whistle. I have nothing." Fortunately, one of the teams had possession, so didn't have to go AP.

It was a good reminder to have a patient whistle.
