Hmmm...
After watching both videos, I think T is an actor planted by the association to provide some good 'how not to officiate the blarge from trail' footage. I'm with those who say the overacting brings his credibility into question, it's like the kid who lies and gets a little too vehement in defending it. You can tell he's trying to sell something you're not buying. You can be calm and confident and give good mechanics, and have confidence in your voice when you report it, and that's good enough.
With his antics, I'm not going to get into it on the court even if I know he's wrong. But in postgame, I'm having a long talk about areas, proper mechanics, and the importance of eye contact/communication on close calls.
