The other night had a player slam a ball after thinking he was fouled. Warning. Next time down the floor he made a basket and thought he was fouled again, slams the ball again. WHACK!

While I've gotten a *bit* better at looking at intent with a slammed ball, if it was directed at me or done to show me up, I give the T (mention that and the NIRSA regional to Kurt - he'll probably remember who I am, unfortunately).
I think I'm getting better at giving warnings when appropriate. I even warned the captain about one of his players last night, but I ended up having to T the player anyways at the end of the game.
I was a bit shocked by the penalty for an ejection at UMD. At GW, you're generally suspended one week/one game for your first offense. And, while I try to not let outside factors influence my calls, I'd probably eject fewer people if their suspension was season-long.
My biggest problem this year, by far, has been post-game. This year, I've ejected 3 players after the game has ended - with the time ranging from 15 seconds later to 3 minutes later! It seems amazing what people think they can get away with, just because the final horn has gone off. (And, because it's intramurals, we stick around
)
