To see the 1's and 0's, leads me to believe that we may be too tolerant of some behavior which leads to the deterioration of standards that some have lamented about this year.

Things run in cycles, for one thing. So some years you don't find yourself running across any howler monkeys, some years that seems to be all you get.

My partner and I had 3 on coaches, 5 on players...1 was for a halftime dunk...and one admin T in 44 varsity games.

If memory serves, last year we had 2 on coaches, 6 on players in 40 games...half those came on back-to-back nights late in the year, where I got half our total, 1 coach and 3 players...I just happened to be around all the stuff.

That's just HS varsity ball, mind you. I'm sure very few officials included any of the other stuff they do in the season recap other than the main level they work.

You toss in the occasional frosh/JV, MS, youth league, etc...and my T total probably triples.
