Jerry - My Advice
Anytime a Coach: 1.Questions Your Integrity or 2. Blames a player's injury on you; you do not have to feel bad about giving them a T - it is just another foul - too many officials feel giving a T is a life-changing or game-changing experience - it is not. I rarely give a T, however, there is no way a coach should be allowed to approach you and accuse you of getting a player hurt. Athletes get hurt often, and it has nothing to do with you calling too many or not enough fouls. My least favorite thing a coach can say to me is: "I don't want to see anyone get hurt out here." The couple times I've heard that I've wanted to say: "Oh, well I guess you feel that I do want to see someone get hurt. Yes, that was my plan Coach - I came here tonight hoping some player would get hurt - that's my one and only goal for this evening." Its ridiculous, I've never gone into a game to cheat anyone - so don't insinuate that I am. Jerry, you were a big man to walk away; but don't let the same coach pull it twice!!!
Good Luck
