Although I agree 100% that officials are different across the country I don't agree with JRUT's way of using this way more than the question is asked. It is almost used like a negative when something is done different in another part of the country. I can understand giving T's, talking and all of that because I think I can communicate either way. I just don't like for the same thing, or at least this thing , to be a negative whether it applies to me or not.
Tommy,

If you feel what I said was a negative, then that is your opinion. I am just saying that you work for different people and different areas; different things are expected of you. If giving Ts is expected and you are supported, then that is not at all a bad thing. We have been told to be much stricter with our coaching box enforcement. I love that attitude as long as we are supported by the people in the state office.

Peace
