I do not know if they are given more or if they are given less in my part of the country. I do know the officials that are giving Ts out all the time are usually not the most respected officials. I think a lot of officials feel that is the way they show their authority. I have at times gone years without giving a T. I have this year given a T for a player bouncing the ball in frustration. Usually I have a word with a player or a coach and the complaining or the comments and behavior stops. I have always said that most Ts are the fault of the officials. We allow things to continue and continue and continue and then we stick them when things have long been out of hand.

Peace
