Thoughts on, "Call it both ways."
My question to the group is, do you think when a coach calls out "Call it both ways" that it is just a generic phrase of frustration that's relatively benign (like "C'mon!") , or do you think it's a pointed/intentional insult against the referee's impartiality?
For me, it's a phrase that does get my attention because I do feel like it is the coach announcing to the world that the referee is biased and favoring one team over another. Recently I cautioned a coach over it because he kept repeating it (first time I let it slide, second time was a warning, third time was the caution).
But I don't know if I'm overreacting to it, and should instead treat it as harmless 'throwaway' line from a frustrated coach. For added context, rec u10/u12/u14 is where I'm usually refereeing.
