T'a are called for 2 reasons:
(1) to make a bad situation better
(2) an attack against your character
Be consistent and follow these guidelines and you'll gain respect as an official as time passes. Coaches and players will become familiar with your level of tolerance.
A good tip to help become consistent is to keep a diary of T's. What prompted you to call it? Could it have been avoided? Did it correct the problem and make it better? Keeping and reviewing this information periodically will help with consistency.
