T'ed Up?

[official/coach]

The bottom line is, none of us was there. Not having been there to see the calls or the coach's actions, none of us actually know whether the T was appropriate or not.

Sometimes, intentional or not, officials call games a little unevenly. At the same time, coaches also look at them and complain unevenly too. Everybody always thinks they are right, and only occasionally does either side ever really look at it objectively.

On the surface only, the comment the coach made was not deserving of a T. However, it is also quite possible he had been complaining the entire game and this was an "accumulation" T. None of us know. The argument is unwinnable because we weren't there.

I will say though, that while yes, he is a "middle school girls coach", that was a "middle school girls ref" too.

I have been on both sides, and both sides are wrong on occasion. I think sometimes it would help if both sides were a little more open to criticism.
