In some discussions with fellow officials, things like "that's why I never call any" came up, which is an unfortunate side effect. So maybe the R in the OP or the R in packersowner's post were motivated to let unsporting behavior slide by not wanting to have to explain anything to anyone?

We have to report all T's to our assignors, but its usually the person who called it. Our assignor wants this done for preventative purposes. He doesn't want a narrative or opinions about it. Something like:

"Technical on White #45, unsportsmanlike. Taunting opponent after a dunk"

That way if he gets a call the next day, he at least, is in the know. I can't recall a single technical in my career where I have been second guessed by the assignor. He might not always agree based on his own view of the world, but he has always stood behind us.
