A "taunting" T story

[26 Year Gap]

One of the less-regarded officials in our area is forever telling the story of a defensive player who yelled "AAUUUGGGH" [not sure of the spelling] in an offensive player's face. The guy whacked him and said "Technical. Taunting." As he went to report, the partner was following him to the table after having whacked the kid again for saying that was a BS call. So, now the kid is gone for 2 games and a report is in need of filing. Another thread is similar to this story and could very well end up with the same result. And you know what? The kid was RIGHT! Although he probably should have expressed himself differently. I can well imagine the scene when the kid yelling "Ball!" gets teed up. Around here, with the mouthguard rule, it is hard enough to communicate let alone expectorate.
