How many police escorts did you require?

2 different games. Actually, it is 3 Ts, but one of them was for reaching through the plane and making contact with the ball while still in possession of the thrower.
No mistaken TOs (so far). Despite coaching for 11 years, as an official I make absolutely certain that the TO request is from the head coach and while his or her team is in possession. I seriously upset one coach who didn't get one from me because I couldn't look to make certain and the play resulted in a turnover. Teach your kids to mirror your TO request when you make one!
