What would it take for a double T on a 13 year old boy?

Game management skills.

So what you are saying is if you call a T on a coach or player and that coach or players goes nuts on you and while you are at the table reporting, we are just supposed to ignore them? You are the wrong person to talk about bad advice considering the comparisons you made in the NBA fight post.

This is good technique! You are emotional, coach is emotional. What we don't want to happen at that precise moment is you to give the coach/player another T and they are ejected.

Why not? Speak for yourself there cappy.

Most assigners want to see how well you call a game, get into position, your judgement on the floor, under fire. I think after you access a T and you go to the opposite side of the court will please the assigners better than you standing there giving them 2 technicals.

If a player or coach cannot handle themselves enough to not get the second one, then that is there problem. They should realize they got a T for a reason. To keep running your mouth or continuing antics, then so be it.

Now, get away from the situation momentarily to give it a chance to slimmer down. If a 2nd T needs to get called, it will get called. Hopefully, it's not at the same time and not by the same official.

The court is only so big. Not sure where you can go. If the player comes after you I have no problem giving a coach a T and multiple Ts at that. Especially at the lowest of levels I feel it would send a message.
