Game

I do. I have no problem with letting something go when the coach yells for it. Right after, I will tell the coach, "I was just about to call that, but you beat me to it. Hopefully, it won't happen again."
They get the message very quickly, and since we miss a few every game, I don't think that one more means the game is now unfair.
In the long run, this tactic is usually more than worth it.

Disagree completely. Missing a call on purpose is just not right. I always thought that the idea of the game was to miss as few calls as possible, not to miss them on purpose. If you don't want a coach yapping at you, why don't you just simply use the rules that were very specifically written to take care of the situation? You know, like a warning, and then a T? Why do you think that the FED put in a rule like R10-4-1(b) anyway- "Bench personnel shall not commit an unsporting foul....such as attempting to influence an official's decision"? You're probably gonna end up Ting the coach up anyway after he hears your smarta$$ answer.
