The thing to look at about the Pistons whining, is to look at Flip vs. the other coaches in the league. Compared to the other coaches, Flip is the most mild mannered coach ever. He is rarely barking at coaches unless the call is totally obvious. Some coaches are on the ref the entire game. If the coach does this, the players don't really have an excuse to do the same thing. Of course the past couple of years LB was on the officials every single stinking play, and the players still argued a fair amount, but probably not as much as this year. Flip is a mild mannered coach and I believe that helps the Pistons, and hopefully the league sees that and will take away some of those undeserved techs.
