So what you are saying is if you call a T on a coach or player and that coach or players goes nuts on you and while you are at the table reporting, we are just supposed to ignore them? You are the wrong person to talk about bad advice considering the comparisons you made in the NBA fight post.

Why not? Speak for yourself there cappy.

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.

If a player or coach cannot handle themselves enough to not get the second one, then that is there problem. They should realize they got a T for a reason. To keep running your mouth or continuing antics, then so be it.

Hopefully, it's not at the same time and not by the same official.

The court is only so big. Not sure where you can go. If the player comes after you I have no problem giving a coach a T and multiple Ts at that. Especially at the lowest of levels I feel it would send a message.
