The actions of behavior while close to were not actually unsporting or taunting.
I really did not want to call the "T" - my thought was that it would just rile up the team and the fans to a higher pitch than we already had.
I said my peace to the coach and he chose not to take off the press - There were three fouls there - would I have made the same calls in another game situation probably not.
I will take your ideas into consideration and look at dealling with this in a different manner.
Thanks

Rick, This displays a very mature attitude and the perfect one to take on an internet discussion forum. Thumbs up to you.
Furthermore, from reading your recent posts you seem to already be quite a competent official. What we are after here is the fine-tuning and further improvement of our officiating skills through a lively exchange of ideas in the hope that each of us will someday be able to attain our officiating goals. Hopefully, all of us can express our thoughts, even those of disagreement, to each other with civility and while keeping our purpose in mind.
It is my sincere hope that I was able to do that in my above post regarding your recent game even though it was certainly critical in nature because of my feelings on particular issues involved. The criticism was meant to be about the officiating itself and not the person doing the work.
It appears from your profile information that although you registered a few years ago, you haven't posted very much until recently. I wish to encourage you to please remain an active poster on this forum. You have added something positive to the discourse. I know that I have learned a great deal and become a much better and more prepared official because of what has been written on here.
