You should be able to anticipate that and if you don't, I question your ability in this area (conduct T's) as an official. And it's not that as much as your reaction to their reaction. We got the coaches being emotional, now with the quick T, we got the official being emotional. Not a lot of clear thought is being used here by either parties.

It's not good for the official to get emotional. Now repeat after me. It ain't all about me! It ain't all about me!
Yup, it was a decent move, all except for that traveling part. No, it wasn't such an oustanding move it had the two coaches up. It was "decent." No more. They didn't get up until I called the travel; at which point they're both screaming at me.

Again, I didn't get all emotional by calling the T. It was calm, the head coach compained briefly and asked what the T was for. I explained it and proceeded to administer the free throws while my partner explained to him the benefits of coaching from his chair.

I'm not sure why you are so hung up on thinking I was emotional just because I called a conduct T.
