Reasons for Players Attitudes

[TimTaylor]

I agree with the others. When the line is crossed, it's the officials' responsibility to penalize the disruptive behavior.

There is a difference between a coach whining and actively protesting almost every call. I'll ignore the former as long as it's not disruptive, but the latter needs to be dealt with. There was an article in Referee a couple months back on communicating with coaches - had some good tips on when & how to respond to a coach's comments, and just as importantly, when to ignore them.

The "Why are you even here? We would be better off if you had never come out of the locker room." comment would have drawn an immediate T. If he didn't immediately change his behavior as a result, then as Dan_ref said, it's very unlikely he would be around long enough to do much complaining - and certainly not make the post game comment.
