Troward, I got myself in a little trouble last night doing the same thing you did, i.e., coming up with what to call after the whistle. I had some extracurricular activity going on, inconspicuous bumping and jawing in a boys high school game, fourth quarter 2 to play, probably a five point game. I was waiting on A to come get the ball and was starting to address it when all of a sudden A1 says something to the other kid that I felt was a T. So I blow the whistle, give the T signal and decide on my way to the table that I should give them both one, A had the arrow and therefore the penalty would be minimal as opposed to just giving them one. It seemed like a great idea at the time...Well it was B2's fifth personal foul and he was gone, both coaches weren't happy about it, but we got through it and I don't believe it affected the outcome in any way. In retrospect, I think I overreacted and should have made a better attempt to take care of it internally, it has been bothering me today.
