Well I had my first T of the season. It was a slow day for basketball as there was only 1 varsity game in the area so I took a 9th grade boys game. The kid from the home team mande a nice block on a shot. Then he proceeded to say get that sh!t out of here. Well I whacked him. Anyway I went and reported it and the coach asked me what happened. I told him what the kid said and then said and I don't think he was talking about a constipation problem!
Have a good one

4 games, no "T's"
My goal is Zero for the year..... Never going to happen, but maybe I can do it one step at a time...I mean one game at a time....This is year number 6 for me. Year 1 I gave away 4 "T's" same for years 2, 3 & 4. But something terrible happened in year 5. I gave away 7 "T's". Some of you know I coached for 11 years before I became a ref. I love refereeing. When I coached, I hated referees, but I always treated them with respect. Not the case now-a-days...No respect for anyone. I also most gave away a "T" last night and tonight, but it's too early in the season... for me.... Maybe after Christmas....Zero....never going to happen......

I had to issue one in game #3 already. It was clear and everyone in the gym knew the kid earned it. Not a peep from his coach who saw it coming and already had a sub at the table. Now I'm thru game #8 and still holding.

Now, if you're throwing 40 T's a season, that's another story. Maybe you have some game management issues.  But personally, I don't think it's realistic or necessary to have a goal of 0 T's for the season.

I don't set out with a goal of no T's, nor do I shy away from them. Just part of the game to me. It's nice not to have to use them, however.
It could be dumb luck, good game management, or a thick skin, but I've worked two full seasons, beginning a third, and my only T's were last summer in "scrimmages".

Good advice Chuck. The goal should be to handle every situation appropriately.

I agree Chuck, that's the way to look at it. I always say that I don't give T's, I assess them when they are asked for. So far this year, I have not had tho call any. Also, I'm working a better (all varsity on varsity nights) schedule. I'm not sure if my mangagement is better or if I'm getting smarter players and coaches.

I moved during the off-season, and my new association requires me to report every T I give, and I hate writing reports, so I guess I won't be calling any T's.

I've got a funny story about a T to a player as well.
13-yr old kid under the basket shoots, and then yells at me "that was a f* foul". So I T him up. Coaches asked me, what did he say. So, I tell him. Few minutes later, coaches comes to me and says "the kid told me that he never said anything". I reply "I guess it's my word against his then". Jean

Give Aways....
I think of the "T's" as my children. I like to keep them to myself, but sometimes, I have to "give" them away. I don't have a lot of children and you have to earn them, but if you earn one, I will give it to you.
Here's my thoughts on giving coaches "T's"- If you are losing and I give you a "T", sit down, shut up becaus eyou aren't getting a second one. If you are winning, and I give you a "T" sit down, shut up or you will get a 2nd one....

 Are you telling me that you won't give a losing coach a second T no matter how bad their behavior is? Are you also telling me that you're gonna treat the winning and losing coaches differently? That's just wrong. Completely wrong.

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.
