Keep your "examples" and analogies within the realm of appropriate, and we'll be fine.

Show me where someone who said they'd T here said they'd give a warning in HS. I didn't. I'd T this in a high school game as well and not lose any sleep over it.

No, you need to get out more. Coaches at upper levels know better and can control their emotions. It's true, it's true. I've seen it.

I know you don't get this, but calling a T isn't an emotional experience. In fact, it's more often than not a very calming one for the coach involved.

You don't have any clue what it takes to be a mediocre official, how are you going to tell someone how to be a good one?
