15 years of middle school coaching, two T's. First one was during a Wreck league game, official told me one more word and he was going to T me. I turned around and said Thanks. tweet! Deserved it for sure, team started playing better and went on to win...
Second game we were away at this small school, officiating wasn't very good (it is middle school). We were winning by 10+, my player was in the back court being double teamed, heard a whack (ended up with a welt on the side of his neck), defense takes the ball and makes layup. I make a comment, without even getting up, something to the effect of "Are you even watching the game?". Deserved that one for sure, but just trying to protect my players. Shortly after that I had a player make a stupid pass, causing an over and back. Player retrieves the ball, bounces hard and misses the ball on the way up. Not mad at official, just himself. Tweet! Fortunately, we went on to win...
