Maybe the line "I'm not going to have a situation like in the crosstown develop" when we using Ts as a tool will remind the coaches what were doing.
The tail wagging the dog is a definite problem. Coaches blackballing officials who punish bad behavior should not be punished themselves. Perhaps coaches should have to explain to presidents of their universities as to why they want an official banned from doing their games.
