My point is this. Do you think that this is a necessary means of taking care of "business" I would hope not. Any official that seeks to become a better game manager certainly would not use this as part of his criteria. Come on man, you know where Im coming from you arent blind.

So......I take it that you can you explain why none of the technical fouls that he handed out were warranted. Please do so. Maybe then we can give you our feelings.

Mark's point, I think, is that you really didn't say anything about him that is a cause for concern. Sometimes, you're going to have streaks where you have to call technicals on coaches. I'm currently in the midst of a two-game streak.
Now, if there are other things involved (and it sounds like there may be), that's fine. But the comment on the Ts is, by itself, not very informative.

I understand, but if I were to get to games 3 -4 with successive T's I would try and find other avenues to take care of business. Not soo sure that a T is always the answer. Communication is a fine line and some officials choose to T....thinking that this is the only way to take care of matters. I choose not too but other do I guess. Thanks for your time. I think this has cleared it up for me.

If I got to 3 or 4 games with successive Ts, I might evaluate myself to see if I'm doing something to provoke them. However, knowing my style, that's not likely to be the case. It might be that I could work on my communication to see if there's some way to prevent them; but even that's a stretch. Sometimes, you just have to address the behavior. Does 8 in a row sound excessive? Maybe in HS sanctioned games. But I could see it happening in AAU until they get the message that they aren't going to act like coach K in my games.

And if others choose not to, is that reason enough that they should quit officiating, as you intimated in your original post?
