Also wondering if anyone finds the T for clapping unnecessary? I'm not sure that I would do that in a HS game because it might be hard to justify to an assignor, but this league is at the bottom of my list as far as priorities this year.

BigCat, my reasons for doing this league are pretty simple. I don't need the money, but I love seeing my savings grow when I deposit those checks every 2 weeks. I'm probably too greedy for my own good. This league actually probably costs me fitness, as my long runs for marathon training are a bit shorter knowing I have to go work 5 games Sunday nights.
So he's not an official. Getting a state certification doesn't make one an official.

As for the clapping: I tossed an AC during a summer game a few years ago for that.

I gave him his first technical for standing to complain about a no-call, then he started clapping and cheering while I reported the T. No hesitation, I simply reported the 2nd T when I was done with the 1st.
