Jimgolf,
I've heard coaches do that (ie, say they did it for the team inspiration.) I just don't believe it.
I think they are trying to excuse their idiocy, inappropriate behavior and lack of motivational and teaching skills.
Bovine Scat!

I've only been reffing one year, but I've attended A LOT of games of all levels in my lifetime. I can alwasy tell (from the stands) when a coach wants to get T'd for motivation sake. Sadly, it works as often as it fails, especially when it's the home team with the home crowd. You may not want to believe it, and I understand why, but you'd be kidding yourself.
Some coaches see T's like we see them, it's just a call. So if they can use that call to inspire their team, I don't have a problem with it. That's not childish or idiotic to me.
