I don’t know if this is the case, but it seems like Sampson has changed his approach to terrible officiating. He could be doing it because he’s seen that yelling at the refs has a negative impact on his players (i.e., they start complaining more). It could also be that he thinks it’s just a given that we’re gonna have to deal with that BS and arguing with the refs isn’t going to help.
Or maybe he’s just tired of being mad at them all the time.
