jeffpea wrotewhy bother to give him a T w/ :20 left? Don't give him the satisfaction of a T. Don't play into that...just tell him "nope"...and be done w/ the game.
Don't give him the satisfaction of getting a "T". Instead, give him the satisfaction of making you like a complete wuss and getting away with it.
Coach: "jeffpea, you're an azzhole."
jeffpea: "There's only 20 seconds left so you're NOT going to get the satisfaction of getting a T."
Technical fouls are judged by the act, not the time that they happen to occur in a game.
Terrible advice imo.
