I cannot think of the last time I had to throw out a coach or player in a basketball game at the HS or JH level. When I watch games on TV, it is very rare it happens there. I have no problem giving out Ts if the actions warrant it. If I have to give a T every single game, that is a problem. I do not want to have to remove someone every single game because I am doing my job. We do not need that crap. Not sure how that makes someone better as an official? We take enough crap as it is every time we officiate a game. Why do I want to work a game that is not like the games I want to achieve at?

This is how I feel. I refuse to work adult recball. I do work a good amount of youth but I will quit that somday too. I just feel that being harassed isn't worth it. I gave out plenty of Ts in recball but its just going to decline. I'd rather work with a partner who knows the rules, mechanics and everything else in a game where I don't have fans close to me and where coaches/players have somthing to lose/gain. I'd stay if it weren't for the @$$holes but its their loss, many officials will quit recball because of them.
