I called a T on team B. Right or wrong?

Just the ruling please............other circumstances were in play on this one

Right. Coaches are ultimately responsible for substitutions.

Can you cite the ruling? I have a few cold ones on this one.

10-1-9; 10-3-3

In a lower level game, if I was getting sloppy and didn't pay attention, I wouldn't be calling a T in this sitch. Actually, even if I wasn't getting sloppy, I wouldn't call the T. Unless you could detrmine it was an intentional act designed by the coach to give them an advantage.
It isn't the state championship game, let it go.

As I mentioned other circumstances were in play. It was the right call at the right time.

T is OK though I might let them play on.

I hate this philosophy. What happens when a team gets to the state championship? Do they then play by a whole different set of rules? Will they be prepared to play by those rules?

The rules are the rules. Just enforce them and move on.
