So between Jurassic, W&S, and Dan you guys have had, what would you say 50 T's?
Why or how is this relevant in any way to this discussion?
You guys say it should be called exactly by the rulebook each and every time so I assume you and the other guys have called a ton of T's.
Well, personally, I think it is reasonable to accept the player moving a bit as part of the natural human reaction to a known impending impact. One part of the brain says to move, and another part say stay to "get the charge call". Those neurons conflicting with each other allow a good referee to only call the obvious technical fouls.
