1st 'T', a complement, and a question

So, Chuck, you are of the opinion that a 6th grader sufficiently understands all of the reasons they can get Td up,

No Coach, obviously that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that I only give player T's for telling me to F**K OFF, or something equally obvious!! That way, when I give the T, there is NO question what it's for.

Was I unclear about that? The point is not that the player knows every possible reason for the T, but that he's done something so obvious that I am forced to T him. So that when he gets to the bench and you ask him what happened, HE KNOWS!!!

I can't believe that I'm so obtuse that I can't explain this properly. My point all along has been that the player has done something that clearly, without doubt, deserves a technical foul. I don't call T's for looking at me funny or saying "But I never touched him!" When I call a player T, it's for swearing at me or an opponent or making some kind of gesture. And in those situations, the player knows why he got whacked.

Does that help make me seem less arrogant?
