Got any more excuses to not call the "T"?

You are way more tolerant than any official should be. Allowing a coach to come out on the floor and yell complaints at you sureasheck isn't gonna help the next crew in there. They're gonna have to clean up your mess. Emotions, no matter how high they are, have got nothing to do with it either. Ever. And if you worrying about whether the crowd was yelling or not, then you should be sitting in the crowd instead of being out on the court. What the crowd is doing also is never a factor when it comes to making any call.

Sorry if that sounds harsh, but imo you really, really need to learn to take care of bidness during a game. If you don't, they'll eventually run you right off the court.
