High School game. I call travling on Team A player.He turns and has his back to me and say's fu*k you. I T him. The coach asked why the T and I explained to him what he had said. His reply to me was "He didn't say it to your face, so why did you give him a T" He also said, "In the heat of competition that I should have ignored it".

So you wonder why kids are the way they are today. That coach and player had no respect for the officials. But, mostly for the game itself.

I had a game where I as lead had a blocking foul on an illegal screen. I go to report and coach requests TO. As I'm reporting TO to the table, I hear from behind me, "that's F'd up". I turn and it is the kid about at midcourt that I called for the foul . I turn back to the table and give a T. Coach says I can't because it was during a TO.
