Freshman girls last night. Halftime score was Team A 41, Team B 4. A is home. Looked like an easy night. Midway through the 3rd a player from B yells for a foul after a good no call by my partner. She yells it right by me going from trail to lead (2 man). A few possessions later the same player is guarding a girl on the baseline right in front of me. The shooter mumbled something like "oh come on" quietly after her shot I assume thinking she was fouled (she wasn't) and the defender fires right back, "You come on!" so she earns a T. Anyway, after that the coach and fans go nuts and are riding my partner and I the rest of the game (I think they ended up losing by 60). I've seen a lot of people talk about using the T only if it will improve the game. This one made did the exact opposite. Any similar circumstances out there? I'm not out looking to throw the T, but I felt that one had to be administered but it made for an extremely long night. Anyway, I am just venting a little and seeing what my fellow officials think about blowing a T in a blowout.
