You're right the rulebook doesn't mention walking away AT ALL. 
The rulebook does not say anything about managing the game either  |
First of all bad analogy if you want to convince me that this should not be called. You just proved my point and probably did not realize it. You are right the rulebook says nothing about managing the game. So his comments got him popped desirably so. Also this has nothing to do with managing the game. For one you do not know the other interaction that went on the game and Ed T. Rush had enough. That is his right to do so.
Here is what you need to do, stop listening to the media for your opinion. You did not talk to Rush or any of the other officials. You have no idea what was said or not said and why this was ultimately a T. This might have been the last straw. I know I have given Ts for things that were not just based on the immediate outburst. I have given Ts because this was a long line of things and my warnings were not adhered to. And this is this player's 7th T during playoffs, so he must know what to do to avoid getting a T.

I do know what game management means to me. But that does not mean that players can do whatever they like just because of the situation. And if a player does not want to get a T, they can keep their mouths shut and act appropriately.
It does not work that way. And if you knew that, then you would know that there is likely more to this call than what happen when the T was called. I have watched games in person while watching people I know officiate. Seen things called like a T, then not know what was said or the entire story until I talk to them after the game. Then the entire story or at least their story is part of the story, not what I assumed I saw or heard in incident.

That is interesting. Perkins got a T earlier right? Do you know what the officials talked about earlier in the game? I know when a player is a problem, my partners are informed and what was said. And that player is not going to get a free shot the next time. And in some cases we might go into the game that the jag offs are and have less rope with them, because their pattern of behavior is such that we are not going to allow them to act up all night. Neither you nor I know what was talked about in pre-game, but the league or even during the game. You must not know what those things mean if you think this was just a standalone T. Remember, this player has 7 Ts during this post season alone. Someone thinks he has a problem.
