Freshman are still learning

[Texas Aggie]

I don't think the T was unreasonable, but I'd have to agree with Gordon on this. I'm of the opinion that your job isn't to teach Freshman sportsmanship or anything else, but to administer the game. Its the coaches responsibility to keep control of his team, and if he's going to ignore this, it will hurt the coach later.

In one of my first freshman games, I had a ball out of bounds that I blew and pointed. One kid didn't like it or didn't agree and tried to be funny (I guess) by trying to make my arm go the other way. I busted his butt with a T and darn near threw him out (that would have been an overreaction), and the coach went nuts. THAT is an example of a kid trying to show you up, and doing something (i.e. touching you) that you can't tolerate.
