In other words, by making the action you described, or by verbally or physically counting back points to an official, yelling things like "make the top guy work" or any number of other such acts, that person has ceased to be a coach, and has now decided to assign himself the responsibilities of the official which is clearly not his role. Generally speaking, most officials will ignore or brush this off as just spirited or excited coaching. In some cases it clearly goes beyond that.
I see what you mean here and I don't completely agree with you, but that is part of coaching in every sport. The coach has to at some point have some interaction with the ref. Now how he does it will be the difference of its effectiveness.
Can you honestly say in a scramble you have never stood up and said thats 2 thats 2. I don't think anyone that has ever sat at matside can answer no to that question.
I don't think any coach tries to assume the role of the ref, they are just trying to help the kids get what point might be owed to them.
I had one match this weekend a kid had another pinned three different times, stacked completely. The ref was slow to get in position and although counted near fall but no pin was awarded. I didn't go goofy and yell and I didn't even challenge the ref, but I did go to the 2 refs taking a break at that same mat and asked them what they saw just to make sure I wasn't being to biased. They both said wow that kid was pinned three different times. I asked them to go talk to the young official to help coach him through being in the right position and they looked at me like I was crazy and didn't do anything.
Watching the same mat later that day almost the exact same thing happened with the same ref. That coach did go crazy and a big battle at the table kicked off. I heard the ref say "every call I make is the right call because I made and that is it" I just laughed and walked on.
