would you "t" a coach for saying...

Terrapins Fan, where are you located in Maryland? If it is one of the counties around DC, can you tell me what school this is or PM me if you don't want to post it?

I think the answer to your question is integrity. You do the same job every game no matter who the coach is or who is watching. It might take longer to get the results you desire, but in the end you will know you did everything above board.
For the first time in my career, I'm in a situation where coaches have a good deal of power. It has been good and bad for me so far. I have picked up some games because officials were taken out. On the flip side, I had one coach rip me a new one in the evaluation. We aren't supposed to know who the coach is (it is on Arbiter), but I know for certain which coach gave me this particular evaluation. Among other things, he said I was trying to give one of his players a technical foul. I don't think I have ever tried to give someone a technical foul. Either I give a T or I don't, there isn't no "tried" to it. My advice would be to just stay the course and what is meant to happen for you will happen for you.tomegun

tomegun, As always I appreciate your wisdom and thoughts. I do and have my intergrity. Keep in mind how many officials won't make a call knowing that their career may come to a short hault. I go out there every night and forget who and what may have said or done the last time I called their game. How many officials won't make a certain call becuase they may be black balled. I have made myself a reputation over the last couple of years that it's strictly business and move on. Some don't and won't. IMO
