Yup...another difference is we don't see the players' faces in the NFL and IMO it doesn't have quite the same effect when you don't see the player's facial reactions. NFL players whine all the time looking for OPI or whine when DPI is called. They'll point and gyrate when they think an offensive linemen as moved. Defenders will b**ch and moan for holding calls. Difference is we don't get to see it all since action is occurring downfield and we don't hear a lot of it since it occurs in the middle of the field....add to that not having as many calls as the NBA.
The fact is professional sports allow their athletes to interact with the officials a lot more than we do at the amateur level and I have no problem with it. I would say what we don't allow at the amateur level, we allow the coach's to get away with in spades (well at least at NCAA D-I level).
