Why try to avoid it? I don't get that. If he brings it on himself, you give it to him (which you obviously did in this game). If not, you don't. Why worry about avoiding it?

There are several reasons why I tried to avoid "T"ing him up,
1- if there's a personality conflict between coaches and officials, they remove you from his schedule. If I am giving him a "T" every time he deserves it, I wouldn't work any of his games, His school is 15 minutes from my house. We work as far away as 1 hour and 15 minutes each way.
2-I wondered if it was that I just didn't like him, but I don't have a problem with other coaches at all.
3-I have asked my partners to "T" him up if he needed it, but none of them hava and beyond the shadow of a doubt, he deserved them.
I did "T" up another coach last year and he asked to have me removed from all his games for the rest of the season, Now here's what he did.
His assistant coach yelled after a call and as I ran past him, he yelled again, I ignored it, but coming back down court again past the bench, he yells the same thing a 3rd time and I give him a "T", telling the coach, that I don't have to listen to his assistant. The coach asks " What did he say to you?" I told him what he said ( complaining about my call ) and the coach said, " Well at least he didn't call you an F'ing A'Hole" I said, coach, you have lost your coaching box and I walked away. Everyone tells me I could have "T"ed him up right there, but I walked away. We shot 2 bring the ball in opposit the table. Next trip down the floor, He is standing and coaching his team BANG, now I got him and I am fine with this "T" He calls my assignor and asks me to be removed from his games and BTW, I was removed from his games. meaning that I am traveling to get games.
I did do one of their games this year, no problem. The past is the past.
