I know this is nitpicky, but I'd like to hear your thoughts....

I ref an adult rec league some weekends. (This is not the only reffing I do, thank goodness.) As I've mentioned before, these guys (and ladies) tend to be both mouthy and ignorant of the rules.

Last weekend, one player was angry with a call, and the next time down the floor he said something inappropriate - "T"-worthy. I gave him the T, but before I could blow the whistle, I heard his opponent say (so others could hear as well), "give him one." I chose to ignore it, and just gave the original T.

Looking back, I almost wish I'd given both players a T. The timing of the opponent's comment makes it look as though I'm responding to his suggestion.

Thoughts? Is that sort of comment enough to T? I know, you'd have to be there, but in general?
