Can coaches learn?

[SpeedyGonGoalie]

They probably can, especially if they are suspended or their T's cost their teams a game, but there are a few types who can't:

1)"(Insert big-name pro or college coach here)-in-training": Won't learn because he assumes he is a great coach, and thus will not accept that a loss was ever his fault.
2)"I need to work the officials": There are coaches who believe officials are enemies, and thus they think they need to constantly fight for better officiating.
3)Parents or "my players are too good to lose": Both are irrational, plain and simple. Either because the players are their kids, or because they believe their players are much better than they think.

I could go through all the players (ref intramurals at a college and you'll see them all), but those coaches will probably never learn because they don't see officials as making mistakes, they see them as conspiring against them, or attacking them.
