I did not call the T, the team behind goes nuts, had I made a call and he slams the ball, I got a T, First time people are yelling at me because I DID NOT call a T....

Couple of years ago, MTD, Jr., and I are officiating a boys' JV game. The game is tied with under ten seconds left in the game when H1 attempts a two-point FG. I am T table side and the rebound comes off toward my sideline. H2 and V2 come down with the ball and I sound my whistle while signalling a held ball. H2 thinks he as been called for a foul, slams the ball, and by slamming I mean releasing the ball with such force that it goes about fifteen feet in the air on the rebound. Easy TF, and the H-HC was livid at H2 for losing his temper.
