Remember, a T is just another foul. In HS it is the same as a shooting foul followed by a turnover or an offensive rebound, and in college it is simply one foul.

Either way, it is not a big deal.

Excellent points everyone. The comments about "rookie or younger officials" may not be far off but also consider that we are all striving to move up. We hear a lot of stories about officials who because of one game get blocked out of an entire league. You put those concerns on top of the fact that in a heated rivalry game that already included an ejection from the freshman game before it and we get to my earlier point.

I did receive some advice on this issue from a local varsity guy who works in the same leagues I do on this: "Dont be miserable for an entire hour and a half so that one A-hole can be happy. Whack him early if justified and let him determine his own fate from there."

Next time I'll handle this type of sitch a lot better.

Good stuff everyone.
