reply to baiting a T
You definitely did not bait the player intentionally. The T was your only choice at the moment and was therefore a good call. However, in 17 years of officiating, I have found that it is not wise to reply to a question such as what you were asked. Pretend you didn't hear him and go on. It is ok to answer an honest, sincere question, but one leave the ones like this alone. That being said, I advise you to forget this incident and chalk it up to experience. It won't be that last time you get criticism as an official. It goes with the territory. Put it in the proper context and focus on doing the best you can every time you step onto the court.
