I agree that you can't evaluate an official on the amount of T's he or she has to assess. That really has nothing to do with an official's ablility. As I was coming up, to get into the 4A varsity I had to put in a couple of years of freshman and sophmore games in that league. I had already worked quite a bit of varsity, but had to wait my turn for the bigger games. I probably gave out at least 2 T's a week. The coaches didn't know me and they wanted to see how far they could go. They found out in a hurry. Personally, I'd rather work with a partner that is a little quicker with the T than one that will not throw one.
