In discussions away from the game, over the years, I have advised coaches that it is not in their best interest to argue rules with an official. Chances are, the official knows the rule in question better than the coach, and if this is not the case, it is unlikely that the coach will change the official's mind at that point. I certainly would not be above asking in some cases: (proper tone, palms open) "Excuse me, Mr. Ref. Are you sure they're supposed to get 7 free throws plus the ball for this?" But the bottom line is, this is an argument you just about can't win. Kinda like arguing with a cop. He has a gun, you don't.
