There is a guy I work with in our association, who never likes to give Ts or even Intentional Fouls for that matter. My theory is that he's worried about his "rating." A few weeks ago, I worked him in a game where we gave a Coach's Warning. After the game, he said to me, "Well I am glad you didn't whack him at the end of the game when he yelled at you for that call." I said, "why's that?" "Well it would have been just pouring salt in the wound and we didn't need to hurt ourselves out there."
Maybe your R was truly giving you some advice or maybe he had his own motivations.
Like it or not, if you made that call on the court, you had your reasons. I like that old adage, "you'll remember the T you didn't give." Don't overthink this one.
