After a JV boys game tonight (first high school game since my Achilles injury two weeks ago, not 100%, but I managed), I had a good discussion on the drive home with my partner, who also works football and baseball.

One thing we talked about is coaches stepping in and handling unsportsmanlike players. My partner says that, the basic football/baseball attitude is, if a coach is handling an unsportsmanlike player, the official doesn't have to as much. However, in basketball, we're a lot more likely to punish with the T, before the coach has a chance to subdue or shut up his player.

I don't work football or baseball, but I wondered if those of you that worked basketball and at least one of those feel the same way.
