I would love to see a study that correlates emotion of a coach to frequency of foul calls. Would be hard to quantify or isolate.
Clearly you missed the words "impossible to quantify" and "maybe" in my statement. Reading comprehension is challenging, I know.
Would you not prefer more emotion? Do you think it impossible that a coach's emotion can have a positive effect on his team and the referees? I've seen it happen dozens, if not hundreds of times, in different sports. Hell, it's even been obvious with DC and our football team a time or two.
It goes both ways. Coaches like Buddy Ryan or Bob Huggins or Frank Martin who yell and scream at everyone tend to have teams that are undisciplined and routinely pick up ridiculous fouls/penalties. Sometimes it works and sometimes it blows up in your face.
Manning may be playing a long game on the emotional side of things. If a coach goes off about every little thing, the outbursts eventually lose their impact (with a few exceptions). Thus, if Manning has a reputation as a guy who doesn't get upset and scream and yell about everything, when he does launch a tirade, it will have more impact.
I agree with this theory but there have been plenty of opportunities this year for the release of that impending tirade. I don't think you have to wait years to release it in order to maintain credibility. It may be subconscious but the officials know which coaches are going to flip their lid when they get screwed so they are more careful to avoid upsetting them. They must be very comfortable that Manning is not going to make them look bad.
Wake hasn't played a truly meaningful game in Manning's tenure at Wake. Winning a regular season game without a tournament bid obviously on the line is not that meaningful in the long game.

Good Lord, people.I agree with this theory but there have been plenty of opportunities this year for the release of that impending tirade.

Not exactly what you are looking for, but it plays a little at the same points.
