Old habits die hard

My position is that if a coach deserves a T and you don't issue it, then you are hurting your credibility as an official.

I'm not saying to go looking for trouble but don't hesitate to take the proper action when it is warranted.

If I have a partner that takes too much crap from a coach who has gone way over the line, that partner has lost a lot of respect from me (for what that's worth).
