Well, another 'T' last night:
JV girls. Home team is getting trounced early in the game. With me as the trail in two person, home team's coach announces, although not real loudly, "that's a travel." With a couple minutes to go before the half, the home team coach again announces, "that's a travel," which again wasn't real loud. The player who the coach thought had traveled then picked up her dribble and quite obviously drug her pivot foot trying to distance herself from the defender. I then called traveling.
Home team coach responds, "that's a make up call for the ones you guys missed. That's three for them and one for us." I turned and told the coach that was enough and that he needed to coach his team and let us officiate.
Within a minute after starting the second half, the home team's coach announced, "that's a carry." I hit my whistle and administered the T.
Here's the deal: I didn't try to immediately analyze whether the coach had good reason to question our calls or non-calls, sorry Oracle. I simply issued a "T," and didn't sweat it afterward, as many have suggested.
With that said, however, I will keep working on my game management skills, or lack thereof.
