Now I know you're kidding.

Every spring/summer I T & toss more coaches at AAU and "exposure" type tournaments than I do in 5 years of winter basketball. These are the types of coaches we're talking about here.

I am unhappy whenever I have to give a T. I am very unhappy when I have to T a coach--it represents the lowest common tool in my box to manage the situation, and tells me that I was unable to prevent it. It should be the tool of last resort--the ejection handle for Goose and Mavberick from Top Gun. Where if you don't use it, you're dead.
Geeze...Top Gun? wtf is that about?

Just wndering - when was the last time you actually refereed a game where more than the 10 players actually cared about the outcome?
