kid said what to get a T

[deecee]

Boys Varisty game

I call a player control (lead position) and head to midcourt to report. After I am done reporting I go to assume the lead position going the other way. Said player walks by and says "You are the reason we are loosing".

I T him up. 2 point game 4 minutes to go in the 4th. I have a 0 crap policy and do hand out more T's than most varisty refs. In most cases coaches and players know in advance when they are about to get one because I tell them. In this case I didnt think the warning was necessary.

However several other officials have said they would ignore it based on the circumstance (game time and score) -- I told them thats their choice, and how do they expect the kids to learn where the line is.

Thoughts on letting it go versus issuing the T.
