How many of you would call this a technical foul:

"Ref toot your whistle."

You should have had a third and fourth option on your poll.

3) It depends.

4) I would address it but not necessarily with a technical foul.

It is hard to take a comment completely out of context and make a judgment. I do not make calls based on one statement. I make calls based on the situation and circumstances surrounding the game (Did anyone hear the comments, was the conversation a one on one conversation, was it a player or coach, and was the person visibly angry.....).

Peace

I agree - it depends on the demeanor with which it was said and the surrounding circumstances.

Depends on what preceeded it.

Nothing, no T.

RonRef,
I will say everyone will view or handle things differently. You have stated your position on how you would or have handle the situation. There were some valid and not so valid point discussed previously. LET'S MOVE ON! This is from an individual whose been told since I have been visiting this site to put in an application at Champ's because, I am not cut out to be an official.

Maybe we should've had a poll to see if we needed this poll?

This just, no, but it would be addressed.
