And the games went very well. My partner called 2 T's--a player and a coach on the same team. Both were warranted, and I was actually a little disappointed I was on the wrong side of the floor for the call on the coach. He'd been acting up the whole game, and the AD (who was running the clock) told me once, "Go ahead and T him."
When he crossed the line, he yelled at my partner, "Will you call something?!" You know the line that came next: "Okay, I'll call this." To the coach's credit, after he sat down and picked his jaw up off the floor, he offered a decent apology and behaved the rest of the game.
It is not, however, a coincidence that one of his players got the other T. We were close to a couple more on that same team. The players emulate the coach. They did lose, despite a pretty impressive effort at the end of the 4th quarter.
