I'm with you, Rita

Deecee,
Without having been there and heard/seen it, I'm giving Rita the benefit of the doubt. You certainly can't tell how it was said by seeing the words in type. If one of my children ask me, "Dad, why aren't we eating supper yet," they can do so in VERY different ways. One would warrant an answer. The other would warrant something else. So, I'm believing the T was warranted.

Maybe more junior high (and 6th grade) coaches should be getting ejected. I gave my share of warnings with the "that's enough, coach" phrase this year. I also gave two T's for a "You GOTTA call that!" type of statement that was loud and disrespectful. There was at least one other situation where I thought afterwords that I should have given a T to a coach and didn't.

I'm all for communicating with coaches, but I'm equally for the coaches acting respectfully. I've got no problem with coaches communicating with officials. I've got BIG problems with coaches being disrespectful.
