Ways not to call a tech

Look at the positive side, Dan. There is a big motivation for the coaches to learn the rules; or at least not to argue them. 9 out of every 10 coaches out here know how I handle this and accept what I tell them when it comes to the rules. That tenth coach learns the hard way.

I guess it's just a difference in our philosophy.

I don't see myself as being the motivator for coaches or players to learn - hard or easy way. If a coach or player questions a rule I'll explain. If the coach doesn't want to accept my explanation I'm usually able to end the discussion quickly enough without a T. If there is a T it's usually because that's what the coach wanted the result to be anyway. It's never because it's an automatic.
