Unless you propose coaches just sit there and have no reaction to plays from their team......

If a coach sits and is very respectful, does not yell or asks reasonable questions every game, then it would be hard for me or anyone to develop an grudge against you in the first place. I know several coaches that are like that and when they do question a call, they are like EF Hutton when they speak.

And some people would feel that doing what you described as over the top and should be T'd in the first place. Again, you do not have to worry about it if you act appropriately. I see too many coaches that hardly say a word to officials good or bad and no one seems to have a grudge or even mentions them as a problem.
