If you won't do what you're supposed to do, then don't whine about those mean old coaches. Either sac up or quit complaining. It's your own fault. I've got zero sympathy for officials that are afraid to call technical fouls.

Agreed JR. Also, I take issue with this.

If it's a T at any point during the game, it's a T before I leave the court, regardless of the score. Sure, that T might not have affected the outcome of the game, but if he didn't cool it, he may have well earned another one, which could have affected the outcome.

Now, I wasn't there, so I don't know the whole situation, but just because the penalty for the T wouldn't affect the outcome of the game doesn't mean I'm not going to call it if deserved.
