Hawks Coach,
In reading your posts you seem like a real gentleman and a great asset to your kids and the game. It can not be surprising to any of us that your first T came in such a manner (as opposed to the type of T's we give most coaches). I remember when I first started officiating and how reluctant and nervous I was about calling my first T. Once it was over and I survived and realized that the world had not ended, it became easier to issue them. Yes, your situation stinks but I hope that your personal flood gates have not opened and that you continue to approach the game with your positive attitude. Having coaches who just coach and leave the officiating to the officials truly makes our jobs that much easier!
