The best coach ever

I don't hate you.

Frankly, I think there may be more, probably deserved, personal animosity from officials toward coaches than there is from coaches toward officials. Coaches, however, are often VERY competitive and emotional. When things aren't going their way, they tend to yell at their players and at officials. Most love their players, just as most truly appreciate how hard it is to be an official. It doesn't mean they can't be jerks, but neither does their game time behavior indicate that they hate officials. The fact is, without officials to blame for things, they'd have to blame their teams or themselves. How could they not like having somebody to blame?
