Ahh rec leagues. There is nothing quite like it. Sorry for being a late comer to this conversation, been working some late games and come home too tired to browse the forum.
Anyways, from my perspective I definitely would have given the player a T and maybe even before you did. My problem with Rec leagues is that I am 19, and I look it. I've been doing games since I was 16 and worked my way up to JV so far, with the occasional off season Varsity game but that doesn't mean squat to these players. I'm working games in Rec league where the players are anywhere from 5-30 years older than me. A lot of the players give me no respect due to my age and appearance so because of this I have developed what I think is one of the quicker technicals around. I have to, otherwise the players will try and run all over me. After the players get to know me and see that I won't put up with any sh!t, we tend to get along fine. Still, there are always the idiots who seem to resent or can't handle the fact that someone of my age has been put in charge of their game.
So my point being, yes I would have given him a T when you did but I probably would have given him one sooner. But that's just me. Anyone have any thoughts on it?
