Yup, that was my point. It might be fine for some situations, but it might be throwing gas on a fire in other situations.

As for technical fouls, imo they're always very subjective. Everybody has a different tolerance level. As long as the game is ultimately kept under control, that's really all that matters. I do think that your tolerance level has to increase with the level of ball being played though. What is a "T" at the high school level might not be a "T" at the college level.

Having said that, I too have a low tolerance at the high school level re: whining, moaning ballplayers. Sometimes they'll get a warning; sometimes they won't. But as long as they're consistent, the ballplayers and coaches usually will adjust to the official's style.
