Do you really think that when missed is one or fewer and disagreed is several or many?

I suppose I would have to be there. My point is that disagreeing openly with judgement calls is not acceptable. Saying openly that you missed judgement calls is even more unacceptable. Either will undermine your role as an arbiter of the game. Players and spectators will respond tp disrespect from the coach, since he has the authority for his team by the nature of his position. If you allow a coach to argue judgement calls and then announce the number of times you were wrong in his opinion, that opinion will be accepted by his players and the fans. If you then render a judgement call, no one will believe that you got it right. They will think you are, at best, a partisan figure who is acting on behalf of the other team, or at worst, a clueless individual who is just trying to rob their kids of any joy and happiness from playing the game. In fact, it is the coach who is sapping the joy from the game. Sports only make sense if the decisions made by officials are accepted by all participants. Questioning calls and counting them out, in my opinion, is conduct so unsporting that it deserves an ejection. I understand your perspective, but I personally don't think disagreement comes in multiple flavors when you are being public, personal, and provocative about it.
