I have to agree with this. Back in my younger days I would allow coaches to do things like this because I didn't want to interrupt the game, draw attentions to myself, yada, yada, yada. All it got me was more a$$ chewin's. I don't put up with it anymore, and the coaches whose games I work know this from the get-go. If they have a question, politely and professionally ask. If there is a complaint, share it, politely and professionally. If a coach raises their voice to yell at me or my co-officials, that is IMMEDIATELY addressed. It may different for others, but I don't have much "stuff" from coaches anymore. And, for what it's worth, I give fewer technical fouls now than at any point in my career. Just sayin' . . .
