No, I personally don't think that the number of "T"s that you have to call in a season is in any way at all a good measure of any official's ability to control/manage a game. It's more of a measure of how many idiot coaches/players that you happen to run into in your games that year. Some of these clowns make it a part of their coaching/playing stategy to see if they can gain an extra edge by working the officials from the git-go. Not allowing them to gain that edge doesn't mean that you're automatically a failure at managing a game properly imo. That was my point.
I know that you weren't saying anything like that really, but I also know that some officials posting here do have that kind of philosophy.
