I gotta say, like most other officials, my tolerance is very low for unsporting behavior in lower level games. I would have no problem calling both T's in a JH game. The way I look at it is, yes, winning is important, but lower level basketball is where kids learn how to play and act when they get to the varsity level. Would you rather the kid get ran from a middle school game and learn his lesson, or keep acting inappropriately until he finally gets run in a varsity game? I'm not saying this is how every official feels on the subject, but this is my personal view of the situation. From the OP, I certainly would have called the first T and without being there I can't comment on the second.
