Both were JV games. I never handed out a warning. When a coach comes flying off the bench in response to a call trying to upstage the officiating it warrents a T. My theory is a coach knows when he's getting a T and knows when he's pushing buttons.

Although your philosophy makes sense, it would never work in the college setting, at least not in the Northeast. Our assignors expect us to tell the coaches before they get out of control that they are on their way... either by speak to them or with the "stop sign". I got MAD props the other night from my assignors for giving the "stop sign." I never used it before that game and it worked... both for getting a good rating and also for telling the coach to stop bi**hing!
