Again, it really means nothing (what I saw or didn't see) but I know what would make me feel more comfortable about a coach. The reassurance of sorts that he was managing the bench and speaking with the players.

This is precisely my point. I will say that I have no idea how players feel about a coach's activities on the bench, and have only my own impressions to draw from formed by my own feelings based upon selected images that I see on TV or in the building. It is woefully incomplete information upon which to draw conclusions. I get why fans feel better or worse about a player's or coach's demeanour, his facial expressions, or public persona, but I also recognize that our superficial ideas formed about these are so frequently naive, premature, or flat out wrong.
