Watching the Bama Game On SECN: How Do You Prepare For That As A Coach?

This isn't just an LSU question, either. This is a question that I often wonder if coaches even address with their kids in preparation.
I went to the Bama game this year, so the blatant screw jobs weren't as clear from where I sat. However, watching the replay, good lord....
How, as a coach, do you prep for these absolutely ridiculous scenarios you get put in while playing a team that gets this type of treatment from officials? What do you do in practice to prep your kids?
Is it a mental approach? Physical? Both?
Do you run a play on offense and tell the team, OK, you ran that play perfectly, now lets pretend that the ref blew a call and it didn't count. Now it is really 2nd down and 10 instead of first down. Or, sorry kids, you ran that play perfectly, but the refs called a phantom PF on us after the play. Now, instead of 2nd and 5 it is 2nd and 20. We have to change our whole approach here...
I know there are many here who absolutely LOVE to shite on our coaches and team no matter what, but watching this replay, I am seeing roughly 8-10 calls that should have kept LSU out of the game, yet we were still in it.
Like the ND game....
You get an obvious TD taken away, it is proven to be the decisive score...
How should Miles handle this?
PS - the classic: You shouldn't put the game in the hands of the refs does not apply. I'm sorry. When you do the right things as a team and the refs intentionally frick it up, that IS NOT the fault of the coaches or players.
PSS - This question could also apply to other SEC teams who dealt with this scenario this year: Arky, MSU, LSU all dealt with brutal officiating when playing Bama. OM was the only team that overcame it.
What would you do if you were the coach? You don't want the players to think this way, but it HAS to be recognized and dealt with.
PSSS - watching this replay, it is obvious there was one ref in particular, a back judge, that is making the majority of these brutal calls. The no touchback, the PF, the no PI calls, the TD we caught that had to go to review, the ball hitting the ground on Bama's last drive in regulation....same ref.

Frustrating, isn't it?
How different a season it is without that one PF call.
We beat Bama, beat Arky and A&M. Not sure how we'd do against Mizzou, but that's a whole different season than what transpired.

Serious question. What percentage of your posts contain at least a minor reference to an officiating conspiracy against Lsu?

They skipped ahead and didn't show the controversial Alexander personal foul. It looks like ESPN is covering for Alabama.

Wait! On my version here on Houston Comcast they didn't show the Vadal Alexander Personal Foul. Harris was coming in to QB and then the time out got called...it went to a commercial break and came back with LSU having the ball right after the VA PF. You could hear fans booing but it didn't show it. Maybe the rest of the nation outside of Louisiana is seeing a different version?

SECN and ESPN all showed the same version, with no PF. Nationwide.
They only allow these replays to play for three hours on the network, not including commercials, so a lot is cut. It's hard to watch. Who knows what dumbass at ESPN decided to cut that play.

A good bit. This topic, along with my love for Miles, usually gets the rant fired up. That entertains me. If you also notice, I post in spurts. Happens when I'm really bored.
With that confession, I don't want this thread to turn into what it is turning into.
Yes, we got screwed against Bama. Deal with it. So do a lot of teams in the SEC. We are not alone.
Again, how would you deal with this as a coach?
The point of this thread isn't to rehash the blatant cheating, but merely, how to properly deal with it and overcome it.
Thank you for your participation.
