I shoulda done it.

I agree with everyone that this is one of the more difficult things to develop as an official. My first couple of seasons I probably put up with too much. My next couple, I think I was a little quick on the trigger. Now, I'm pretty confident of my game management and give fewer T's, but the ones I do give are pretty easy for me. I've only thrown one unsportsmalike this year and haven't felt bad about it. Monday night I had a kid pound the padding behind the basket pretty hard, it would have been an easy T, but instead I just put my hand on the kids back and told him to calm it down. Fouls happen and there's no reason to do something like that and hurt your team. Didn't have another problem with him the rest of the night.
