Here's what I read:

Coaches want an experienced crew, or at least one experienced guy. I want somebody I've seen before..preferably one I can work.
Coaches don't want strangers officiating a big game. See above.
Coaches want sectional officials to have worked one of their games during the season. ...and again.
Coaches think sectional games are played and officiated differently. Uh, yeah. Hopefully better on both accounts...it is the playoffs.
There is a better way to ref than just blow the whistle. You should have to take some crap from us...we pay you.
Crews are better for post-season games (currently the assignments are random). See above.
The more you talk the better ref you are. The more you talk TO US the better ref you are.
Gotta protect the shooter. When my guy is shooting.
Be aware of previous games that may have been officiated differently, the goal is consistency between games/officials. Don't call travels on me if the last guy didn't. Doesn't matter if my player is traveling or not.
Gotta like kids. You should be willing to take some crap from one or two knuckleheads I have on my team.
The game is about adjustment. Officials need to anticipate and stay ahead of the curve. If it's against me, you obviously were in poor position to make that call.
If a coach is out of control, talk to him. You need to take a lot of $h1T before whacking me.
If you made a mistake, admit it and move on. You get ONE pass here, then I'm scratching you.
Make sure to give equal opportunity to talk to officials. I want to abuse ALL three of you equally. Please rotate so I can chew on you too
Consistency is the key -- watch back-to-back calls. Unless BOTH go against me.
Be on time to the game and get your contracts in on time. Yet snafus in getting YOU paid are out of my control.
Consistency in calls can be dependent on rotations and mechanics. If the foul count is uneven, your rotations and mechanics are the cause.
Coaches want officials to have good positioning. You need to be near me when you make a call so I can make sure you understand why that was a bad call.

Which of these do you guys agree/disagree with?

THIS response to the original inquiry is both precious and accurate.
