Which Ref Is Correct?

It has nothing to do with being afraid to take care of business, but if this is a T, you will be calling many of them over the course of your career that others will pass on. Just sayin....

I look for multiple reactions. Depending on how bad the first one is, after the first 1-2 reactions I'll tell the coach to stop it before I do. After that I've rarely ever had an issue. Even if I throw a T later for more reactions I've never had a coach surprised at my call or do anything goofy to deserve a T.
