This is very bad advice. If you whack a kid or a coach for bad behavior, get out of there! It is not about you. Go to the table, report your technical then go to other side of the court. You do not need to hit them with another tech right away, you got administrative duties to perform, go do that. Game management skills.

I also disagree that upper-level assignors everywhere want to see that situation handled that way. Your's might, but I doubt that it's unanimous. Imo, most assignors/evaluators want to see whether an official will take care of bidness himself or whether they will walk away from conflict.

Totally disagree again. Part of my pre-game, especially big games, especially games where a clinician might be there. You call a technical, report it and go to the other side of the court. This is good technique! You are emotional, coach is emotional. What we don't want to happen at that precise moment is you to give the coach/player another T and they are ejected.
Walking away from conflict? That's putting it too simple. It's how you handle conflict that's important, and you addressed it with a technical, and you walked away. Most assigners want to see how well you call a game, get into position, your judgement on the floor, under fire. I think after you access a T and you go to the opposite side of the court will please the assigners better than you standing there giving them 2 technicals.

Again jmo, but I think that there's just too damn much over-analysis and over-thinking going on re: these types of plays anymore. And that's exactly why the NCAA and NFHS are constantly putting out POE's and directives to try and curtail unsporting behavior. If an unsporting act happens, just call the damn thing. Too many officials seem to think that they're failing in game mangement 101 if they do happen to call a "T".End of rant.....

Thank god because that's exactly what that was. Quite telling officials to go out and call multiple technical's. One technical is good and it shows you have attempted to address the situation. Now, get away from the situation momentarily to give it a chance to slimmer down. If a 2nd T needs to get called, it will get called. Hopefully, it's not at the same time and not by the same official.
