What are your thoughts on statements like these, and the overall thought process of deciding when to TCOB?

There are two ways to take that statement, one is they call T's unless its so bad that they can't not(double negative intended) call a T. The other is that the way you carry yourself and handle coaches that the odds of situations that would lead to a T being called are pretty low.
