To honesty answer your question, yes a T can sometimes change things. I will not speak of integrity, but I have seen situations where officials have given a T to a complaining coach, realize he had a legitimate gripe, and cut him a little slack in the second half. But I am talking a little slack. I am not referring to the turnaround you were talking about. The turnaround can be traced more to the attitude of the offending (or offended coach more than a break every now and then.

The times I have seen this is mostly with newer officials, but I have seen it happen with veterans. It is usually the partner that notices an injustice.

I would bet that many of the people on this forum have seen this happen too. So rather than fill your replies with hipocrasy, answer the question. Has you ever seen this or not?

I also have seen many replies to this person that indicate that they do not like him or his attacks on officials. I welcome them all.

In dealing with the public like we do, we get all kinds. This forum has served me well to personally deal with some of the replies that are mostly self serving, often having nothing to do with the original question, and often right on target and have helped me become a better official. So embrace the question, deal with it, reply if you must, and learn from the personality of the person that set it up.
