First T, funny story

[caliref]

Longtime reader, first time poster here.

You have to remember that a Technical Foul is just like any other foul. You call them because somebody broke the rules. Try to not let emotions get in the way of calling these. I know people thing of the T as a big weapon, but it is meant to control the game, the players, and the coaches.

So far this season, I have had players use profanity on three ocasions right in front of me. If I can see them use it, they are going to get a T.

I had a bench that was heckling the other team that they were beating by 40 points. Coach got a warning, then the bench got a T.

Remember, sportsmanship is a POI in the FED rulebook this year.
