And do offense to the D1 officials out there...but if the guy that gives me games thinks I should go to the coach...I'm going to the coach. That's just me...feel free to do as you wish (like I have control over that anyway).

That is a very good point. The problem is we all do not work for the same people or come from the same background. I read this philosophy all the time on this site, but I have never been told what to do as a requirement by any assignment chairman I have worked for. In many cases we are assigned because of our good judgment that we have displayed in the past and I do not feel I need to explain anything to someone who has lost control. If a coach got T'd, I trust my partner they had a good reason for pulling the trigger. Also I do not believe in the "you cannot give the second T" BS either. If a coach goes nuts on me in a way I have not choice, then he is going to get stuck twice. I can only think of one time in my career that even happen in such a short period of time. Bottom line if you know how to read people, handle conflict and use good judgment likely when you give a T you will not have to give another. I do not need to get away from a coach just because he is an @sshole.
