What T do you regret the most?

Screaming "Jesus Christ" is a widely known profanity...giving the coach a T for that has nothing to do with religion or staying out of religion.

Good Lord Rocky,

(I'm sure you will T me for that), "Jesus Christ" has nothing to do with religion? Why else do you consider it profanity?

Maybe that coach was praying.

That's not what I said...I said giving a T for screaming it has nothing to do with religion.

What if I am Muslim or do not believe in anything to do with Christianity? Why would I care if someone made that comment?

Peace

And yet it doesn't trip my trigger.

JC is going to be a regional thing. It would be expected to be called here. Profanity is, in fact, cultural. I'm ok with that.

Only T in recent memory I regret was a district championship game several years ago where during a dead ball two players got their arms tangled up and as they got them untangled one kid gave a little extra swing with his arms.

I called a T and my mindset at the time was that this was the 3rd time these two teams had played each other in 2 weeks and I wanted to clean the game up early as this was in the 1st quarter.

The HC who's kid I whacked did not like it at all obviously. And talking at half time with my partners, one didnt really like it. And I didnt really like it.

Saw the same HC at the state tournament later a few weeks later and I actually initiated a convo with him about it. He said that's one where I'd like to see an official get the kids together and say knock it off.

I actually agreed with him.

Oh and FTR, I cannot ever see myself giving a coach a T for saying JC TO HIS PLAYER. Its not something any of my assigners would want called either. IMO you are much better served leaving that one alone.

Only one I regret... early in my career I was working a girls varsity game in N. Illinois. Coach didn't agree with my call and took his glasses off and asked if I needed them. I wacked him, but I wish I had just said that they weren't doing him any good so why would I want them. To this day I think he was testing me there to see what my response was and he would have appreciated the comment more.

If that was a test, then you passed. If you let a coach do that to you and DON'T issue a technical, you have failed yourself.

This one is tough. Was he serious or did you have enough of a relationship he was teasing you?

No way am I whacking a coach for saying Jesus Christ to his kids in the huddle.

In the huddle? Not even likely to hear it. Scream it across the gym? Really depends on context. It's not automatic but would catch my attention.

If it is screamed at me then sure. But "Jesus Christ Jimmy run the offence" is unlikely to draw my attention.

Sorry this was not in a huddle. They did something on the court and he screamed at the top of his lungs JC. I would never T up a coach for something only I can hear that is not a personal attack at me.
