I've said this before, but since you asked. . .
Going tableside is a great idea at the pro level and the D1 college level It is an ok idea at the sub-D1 college level, and it's a horrible idea for HS and below. Why?
B/c at the pro and D1 levels, every game is videotaped and if a coach goes off on an official who has to switch right in front of him/her, that coach can be held accountable (via fine or suspension) by his/her conference or league, etc. There will be video proof of the outburst and action for the official to submit to the powers-that-be.
Below that level, videotaping is spotty and that means that there is significantly less accountability for a coach that behaves inappropriately in a heated situation. All there is in many situations is the word of the coach versus the word of the official.
