Same deal with coaches I think.

I think it's the fact that the fans/parents in the lower age levels know fewer of the rules and don't know how to act at a game. If I volunteer for a fundraiser tournament, I can always count on at least one parent approaching me after the game whining about their team losing. The coaches don't know what they're doing and also don't know the rules, so that compounds the problem.
