When I coached, I got 4 T's in 3 years.
One, my buddy was officiating our game. His partner had not a clue. His partner administered FT. Kid bounced the ball 3-4 times then lost it. The kid WALKED into the lane, picked up the ball, went back to the line and shot the FT. I asked him, is that not a violation. He replied no, and told me that was enough. Yep, I went ballistic. My buddy stuck me. We still run together periodically, and get a good laugh about that night.
Two, away game. Officials are not very good, and their effort was horrible. My kids getting the raw end of more than a couple calls. Home coach, actually stands up, walks toward me, and says, "Coach, I am really sorry about [the officiating]." I finally yelled at one of them that he was horrible. He started to give the T, then stopped. I glared at him and yelled, "HORRIBLE!" That did it. (I earned it.)
Three, same "partner" official as in sit. one, only HIS partner was actually worse. Visitors scores, my team inbounds the ball, and I request a time out. Nothing. His partner WALKS in front me (max. 5 ft. away), I ask for a TO x2. Nothing. Now I start yelling, "TIME OUT!!" (x2-3) NOTHING. Finally, the lead on the other end of the court grants the TO, then gives me a T for yelling at the officials.
Four, we are away. We start the game with 9 players. Home starts with 5 total players. Teams are pretty even talent wise, so I figure it should be a good game. That is until the officials showed up. BOTH from that town, BOTH graduated from that school, and one worked for the school district. They let them play, and it got rough. I asked for them to tighten it down, to no avail. Twice I requested TO's, but was not granted them, even though my player was holding the ball, standing near mid-court with no one within 15 ft. Fouls at end of 1st half (12-3). I know, I know, don't count, just call. 2nd half was worse. Foul count 19-1!! I lost it. I was begging for the T, and he finally gave it, with about 4-5 minutes to play. I begged him to give me a second one too, because I wanted their behinds to take a visit to the State Association's Office. (We video taped our games, so I had all the proof I needed.) Alas, I couldn't get it. One of the ref's did tell me afterward that he was going to throw me out of the gym though. I laughed, told him to go away. (Note: Varsity game, the ref who T'd me was sitting in the stand right behind the home team, cheering them on to victory!) Still gets me a little unnerved.
Obviously, I didn't last in coaching.
