Question Isn't a T a bit too much?

Maybe I'm wrong here, but does anyone else agree with me that a T is a pretty severe penalty for what might be a minor infraction? I would think that officials might be more inclined to make this call if the penalty was a violation rather than a T.

I sort of view this situation similar to the "swinging the elbows" situation from a couple of years back. When the penalty was a T no one called it, when the rule changed to allow for a violation to be called when a player swings the elbows (without contact) officals were more comfortable making this call.

Your thoughts?
