Tech or Throw in Violation?

In some game, somewhere, some guy is right on the edge. Were the elbows exactly traveling faster than the waist? Is the action truly a reflection of 'criminal' emotion, or is he blowing off steam? You might warn him. Or you might - well, you might have, since because it was such a bad rule its no longer an issue, the penalty is changed - call him for traveling and smile when he protests and the coach tells him to be quiet.

You might have called him for travelling. Very,very few other officials would have done the same thing,imo. The only officials that I have met that would do such a thing, fortunately, did not stay with our avocation very long. They certainly never progressed to officiate any meaningful games either.
