Correctable error situation?

Aamof, whether a coach is gonna be happy or not should never be a consideration in any call.

Never consider.....you'll go blind.

Bad choice of words imo, Snaqs......

Okay, okay. I've gone back and fixed the original. I did not mean "consider" as in, "when making the decision, consider this...." No, I simply meant an official should "be aware" of what's coming next. B's coach here is going to be more unhappy and more vocal than if he thinks you missed a travel violation or a foul. A mistake is made, and he doesn't give a crap whether it's the officials' fault or the table. It's all the same to him, and to him, it's the officials' fault. CEs are just what they say, errors. They're messy.

This particular one is, aside from end-of-game CE scenarios, probably the worst. Make the ruling properly, and know you'll have a snippy coach for a bit. Know it so you can deal with it accordingly. I would have thought it was obvious from what I orginally wrote, but I fixed it just in case.

Furthermore, BNR states it well:

We and they (officials & coaches) are human. And you cannot treat every situation as "oh, that's just a coach whining". If we f**k up we have to prepare to catch some extra flack. And there is a difference between "catching flack" and letting a coach sh!t all over you.
