I totally agree with you. I think many love to put that notch on their belt and brag about it later.
I did not give any Ts in this situation mainly because what difference would it have made. It would have made things worse and my partner handled the situation perfectly. They still tried to take me on after the game and it still did not matter what they thought. They lost be 40 and I know it was not me. Kind of hard to take the blame when you got the smallest kid trying to shoot NBA distance 3 point shots without even running the offense. I am not going to take responsibility with players that take on 3 defenders and get their shot thrown into the bleachers.
Do not get me wrong, I do not tolerate any behavior, but when you realize that certain actions are not going to make things better, you basically do ot give a damn. It is a stupid AAU game, if the coaches do not give a damn, why should I? It is only a game to me, if they want to make it bigger than that, be my guest. I am not going down that route.
Peace
