The same conversations about going table-side came up in higher-level ball over the last few years..."More T's will be called because...", "thin-skinned officials will...", "the coaches will be able to..." After several years of this (speaking only from my own experiences reffing, observing, evaluating, etc) I have seen fewer T's called because the coach isn't screaming across the court at someone and because the calling official is now right there where they can have an actual conversation about the call...coaches who were jerks before will still be jerks, and refs who couldn't handle being griped at before will still have problems with that...but in the larger picture, it will make things go a whole lot smoother...
