Reasons for Players Attitudes

[Terrapins Fan]

I will not say that this board has an influence on when I will call a "T", But I called 2 tonight...` on a coach, one on a player, both questioned my " No call" I warned both teams at half time that I wasn't going to put up with any more complaining. I "T"ed up the home coach ( who was winning ) in the 3rd quarter and a visiting player in the 4th quarter after I didn't make a call on his drive to the basket. He said twice, "You've got to make that call" So, I made the call"T".

Now after the game, I am taking to his coach. He complains that I need to take more criticism. I explained that I shouldn't take any at all. He disagreed. I explained that if I take a little, next time I get more and it only escalates. He walked away.

I explained the "T" to the officials for the next game. they didn't think I should have called them. One of the officials there has over 30 years and has never ( NEVER ) call one "T". He is not the only official in our board that has never called a "T", my bet is we have at least 3. remember we have 39 officials.

I still do not believe that any of you have influenced my calling the "T"s but I do expect you will think you have. I am up ro 9. I have 2 more games scheduled....My goal is ZERO in those games. I will let you know.
