Technical foul average
I find it very interesting in reading how many technicals are called by all of you. I have officiated varsity contests for 10 years now and have yet to "T" up a coach. I called my first non administrative "T" last week on a player. I would say that I call maybe five techs. per season on players. I don't know how to explain it other than when we see a foul we call it and all of our games are under control from the tap until the final horn. I guess when I see an item on this forum regarding how many fouls are seen and not called perhaps that can be a factor in creating frustration in the mind of the players and leading to improper behavior on their part and the part of the bench. When the players and coaches see us as their officials they know that fouls will be called and that we are willing to stay as long as it takes for the players to play "basketball".
