JR,
I have guys in my association that have not "T"ed up a coach in over 30 years as an official. I tossed one 2 weeks ago. I have called about 4 or 5 this year. So You are wrong that I don't the balls. I do. I will use the "T" when I believe it is needed. I do not believe that calling a "T" in that situation would have changed the game. The visitors were down by 30, the subs were all in and losing. If it's a game under 10 points, him losing the ball, 2 free throw and the other team getting the ball can be a 6 point difference...it's a good call there.
Look at it this way, in a game that has a 20 point or more spread do you call the game the same as a game with a 5 point spread?
