As I alluded to in another thread, coaches put a lot more stock into end of game situations. It's always going to be that way, no matter how much officials rail on about all calls and all situations being equal.

The coaches make the rules. They are letting us know what is important.

I'm sorry, but is it written somewhere that I have to agree with/like a rule change because it's "important" to the coaches?

I wasn't a fan of the live-ball TO rule change a few years ago, and I'm not a fan of this change. Clearly you don't mind it, which is fine, but it doesn't make you morally superior or a better official for agreeing with the coaches on a rule change. People are allowed to dislike things.
