I disagree with that statement. You can judge many things by the number of Ts an official give out. It might not be the end all, be all of what they can or cannot do, but it is a factor. The only question I would have is were all these Ts given out at the same level or were the Ts given with known problem schools. I threw out a coach this year at the freshman level and I know the coach was not used to working with an official as experienced as I am on a regular basis. I have never in my entire career thrown out a varsity coach. I think it can say something about an official and can be used to decide if the problem is the official or the players and coaches involved.
