That does the officials following you a great dis-service imo. Technical fouls are simply a reaction to an unsporting act. We don't commit these acts, and it's our job not to allow those unsporting acts.

Very bad advice. Officials who purposely turn a blind eye on unsporting acts should find another, less-stressful avocation. Officiating isn't for them.

I agree with JR. You're not creating a situation whereby you now need to call a T. They committed an unsportsmanlike act which earned them a T. You worked the games and earned your money, now the athletic dept needs to be responsible and pay you. If the player acts up and earns a T, you need to be responsible and give it to them. I hate to see anyone denied what they have earned.
