With apologies to Cary Grant (who first said something similar) - here are the real 4 stages to officiating as they pertain to me.
1) who is Mark Padgett
2) let's book Mark Padgett
3) let's book a young Mark Padgett
4) who is Mark Padgett
Now, as for calling technicals, as I've said before, Ed Hightower repeatedly makes the point that the purpose of a technical is to stop bad behavior - if you can stop the bad behavior without calling the technical, you're just that much ahead.
Personally, I'm addicted to them and give them out just for fun!
