Ive been there so has everybody else on this board, but I would never, NEVER call or not call fouls on a team just because of their coach. thats just how he said it after the game, that he called it that way!!

Or maybe he meant that your coach was making it difficult for them to focus and make good decisions with his complaining, therefore they kicked some calls that otherwise would have gone your team's way. In the absence of the distraction, who knows?

Of course, many will tell you that there is more than one way to handle a coach who is behaving poorly. There is the rule book way (technical foul, notice I did not say a warning, since that isn't in the book!) and there are "other" ways.

You may have just run into one of those "other" ways.
I know that if I have a coach whose behavior is wonderful on one bench and a coach who is not well-behaved on the other, I definitely want to make sure that the coach who is behaving properly gets just as many calls. I certainly don't want him to feel like he has to start squeaking to get the grease. That would only encourage all of the coaches in the area to complain.

If you have a good example, I say reward him. That doesn't mean that his team should get unmerited benefits, but certainly don't penalize HIS team.
