Juulie - as you well know because we have worked together, I don't get much flak from coaches, but when I do, I am not adverse to giving the T if I feel it is warranted. Many times on this board I have quoted Ed Hightower who said that the purpose of a technical foul is to stop bad behavior, and if you can stop the bad behavior without having to issue the technical, you are just that much ahead.
Apparently, I have come a long way since the days when my association permanently named their annual "Mr. T" award after me.
