This is kind of ridiculous - you say you can't assume, and then you not only make an assumption opposite of what he made, but you further project that assumption onto Rut and assume he would T someone up for saying something innocuous. Sorry ... not KIND OF ridiculous. EXCEEDINGLY ridiculous.
Not at all. I'm saying that unless you KNOW what he said, you can't penalize him for what he said. If that is assuming, then that standard means that you must T every player who appears to talk at an opponent when you can't hear what they're saying. I really doubt you're proposing that.

Put simply, his mouth moving is fully insufficient to warrant any penalty.
