It's amazing how a T can change the game

Coach, I'll answer your question as to why I think the foul discrepancy happened. Chances are that after your T, you shut your trap and coached rather than offiated. Chances are your kids were listening to you coach rather than listening to you whine.
I can tell you without a doubt that I've never made any calls based on which team was paying my check, and any overt statement that challenged me on that would earn at least a T. It also wouldn't get you any calls in the 2nd half that you otherwise wouldn't have received.
Perhaps your pg traveled before the bump (I had one of those the other day), or whatever.
All I can say for sure is that you shouldn't give yourself too much credit for "working the refs." Frankly, with the comment you made, you're quite lucky you were allowed to finish the game.
Sometimes there's nothing like a T to whack some sense into a coach and get him to stop officiating and start coaching.
