Easy with the T's????

[Junker]

For me and alot of guys I work with, it depends on the level of play. I tend to assess more T's in lower level games. It seems that each official has certain behaviors that is their trigger point. I know I went through one season early on where I was a little trigger-happy. As my knowledge of the game, experience, and managment skill have developed, I seem to have to give a T less often. So far this year, the only coach that was even flirting with one was last night in a JV girls game. He was down 20 in the second half so I gave my explanation and walked away. He was continuing to say things that usually warranted a T, but it just would have made an already ugly, poorly played girls game a lot worse. I just stayed away from him for the rest of the night as much as possible.
