Hope this gives you a better understanding of what "I" meant by questionable call.

Yes... and no offense but I believe your clarification is worse than the words I inadvertently put in your mouth. Are you (see... this is a question not a statement, to avoid putting words in your mouth) asserting that you give more leeway to coaches complaining when THEY think your call is questionable than when THEY don't? Well that doesn't make any sense at all. (And I'm wondering why coaches would complain about calls they didn't disagree with).

Ok Mike, let me break it down for you sir.

Questionable:
A3 takes it strong to the rack, the secondary defender B5 slides in front of A3. They get to the spot basically at the same time & both hit the deck. It can go either way (50/50) I count the bucket & put A3 on the line.
Team Bs coach wants to know why no p/c, I give him my explanation. He argues a bit, I say I understand & walk away.

Clear cut:
Same play but B5 is clearly still trying to get to the spot when the crash happens. If coach wants to argue this one he might get whacked or put on notice at the very least.

I hope that is what he is saying cause that is just good game management and understanding the emotions of the game. If it is a hard/close play, then we should understand a coach's Point of view and give him more of an opportunity rather than a play where it was blatantly easy in our eyes, then he gets less leeway.

That's not to say the coach never regains his composure or gathers himself together in a reasonable amount of time. In that case he will still receive a Technical foul.
