Actually I was involved in about 3 situations during camps where we called a foul, then a T following. And you only call the T if the action is intentional or flagrant. The evaluators loved the calls in each situation this past summer. And each situation took place with different evaluators on each game.

I understand what you are asking because that is what I was told when I first started. For whatever reason that philosophy has seemed to change in my HS area and the college supervisors camps that I attended seem to take a similar position. And I think the way Tommy talked about this situation is becoming more and more accepted as a "cop out." And as someone else said, if you get the first one, you will likely stop the retaliation from even taking place. If you penalize both you are likely penalizing the guy that was wrong first and in many minds, that is not the right thing to do. I can tell you that is what John Adams told me personally (and my crew of course) when I attended his camp a few years ago for the first time. John is now the National Coordinator after this year. I am sure that philosophy will continue.
