Way to pay attention to the set up for a little joke instead of the important part of that post.

That tolerance level you speak of becomes the problem of every other official in your area.

If I'm working with you, and you don't take care of business in the first quarter, I now have a game headed toward the toilet. I either follow the get in, get done moto, or I am forced to handle your business for you and in either case my night just got longer.

If I'm working that coaches game the next time out, their level for what they think they can get away with is far higher than it should be, so my night just got tougher because YOU did not set the proper boundaries of behavior the night before.

Having a quick trigger, "rabbit ears", causes problems.

Being a spineless pushover is equally bad.

Care to guess where that "high tolerance" level of yours fits on that spectrum?
