After re-reading rule 10, I see that inciting the crowd is listed in the bench technical rule (10-4) and not in the player technical section (10-3). I stand corrected on that point.

I do think the original thought of a "travesty" isn't a bad one, and if you want to end the game right then and there -- no forfeit, no suspension, just game over, especially given what the coach had said -- that would be fine. So if you want to avoid the T and end the game, that's fine. Otherwise, you don't have a choice here. You WILL lose control if you don't. I've said it before on here and it may have been misunderstood: if there is ANY justification for a T, you can always support that call and you should likely err, especially in a blowout game, on the side of the T. In other words, you err on the side of giving one rather than not giving one. I know a lot of successful officials who have been or still are "red-***" officials. They'll serve up a T for someone looking at them wrong. Other than maybe a few road bumps here and there, this attitude hasn't overly hurt their career. Whether you want to be a red-*** or not, a T in this situation can easily be supported later. Unfortunately, I speak from bad experiences in this area. Trust me: give the T or end the game. |

I got into the habit of easing up on things when it was a blow out. Early last season I got tired of having my decently officiated games turn into train wrecks cause i lightened up on the whistle the last couple of minutes of a game. Now I officiate to the end. And probably to no one's surprise my train wrecks have been almost non-existent. Do I still have games where things are on the edge of tilting ? Of course but NOT because I was easing up on my whistle.
Does "red-***" = hard-*** ? Or do we have some kinda Texas thing going on ? Last edited by Chess Ref; Sat Dec 08, 2007 at 08:49am. |

A great time to utilize 5-5-3. Would have saved you some headache. |
