That if the coach refuses to let the team score and instead gives the ball to the opposing team (Fallujha). Then the coach starts pointing out minor infractions that his team is commiting, apoligizes to the other team in the middle of the damn game with both teams and fans watching?

I think the coach would be looking for a new team real quick.

You mean the team would be looking for a new coach? Good analogy, otherwise, except there's one more rule--the team can has only two choices for coach: the one they've already got or the opposing team's coach.

"I apologize" for thinking that you were on the team. You obviously want to rely only on your own limited perception of events, and of how things should be done, despise constructive criticism of the few for the betterment and reputation of the whole team, second guess every move of the coaching staff, and tolerate no setbacks, without knowing or apparently caring about knowing the overall "strategery" and objectives which involve more than simply defeating the other team. You aren't on the team, you're not even much of a fan if you'll withdraw support when the going gets tough (even if you disagreed with certain calls before, during or after the tough times)...especially with the certain result, and perhaps intent, of helping the opponent.
