I think his point is that the kids have to learn the rule sometime; and isn't it better if they learn it in a 7th/8th grade game than in the last 2 minutes of a varsity game?
Maybe they could learn it without giving the T, but it is the rule; and if you ignore it -- and the other coach knows the rule -- you could have a problem.
And by the way, I am seriously saying that I call a 7th grade girls game the same way I call my varsity games: advantage/disadvantage. Just my $.02 [/B]

Agree 100% with Chuck. I think the player and future officials of the player, are much better off without the player having to
"unlearn" your rule/non-rule in a Varsity game--or even a playoff game of any sort between now and any potential varsity contest.
