According to some of the above posts, I probably shouldve been called for 5 T's a game if we go look at the game tape.

As long as you're polite, and ask at appropriate times, you're fine. At least around here. Also, if I know that correcting your players is really why you're asking, then I will be giving you LOTS of leeway.
