Why? When do you ever hear officials "rip" coaches or players?

These men/women are doing something that is largely subjective (i am sure you have heard the adage that an official could throw a flag on every play if they wanted for something).  You think its a swell idea to allow some narcissistic man child, in some cases with a following of millions of devotees, to use the media to call out officials, even after he probably just spent the last three hours tantruming up and down the sidelines?  These men/women fly home and sell insurance, teach, work landscaping, etc.

If by "we" you are referring to fans, there is no moratorium, as far as i know, on fans complaining about officiating (i often wish there was though).

I played a lot of sports in my life at multiple levels (i know many here have).  One inevitable truth is that officiating will suck.  As long as an official is not demonstrating a blatant bias, shut up and play the game.
