How many other foul types does anyone keep track of? I personally don't track any of my foul calls unless they have to be accompanied by a written report (disqualifying a Coach or a Flagrant type foul). I just don't see the need to worry about how many T's get called. I agree like so many others if it needs to be called then call it. All part of the game.

I've only participated in 2 HC ejections.

1) I called both T's (also had T'd that coach in a game earlier that season) and was scheduled to have that team a week and a half later. My commish switched me off the game. Had same coach one more time a year later and he didn't say anything to me the entire game. His team went on to win state title and he moved on to college ball.

2) Crew chief called T in 1st quarter, I called 2nd T with 11 seconds remaining in game. I was scheduled for that team's next game which the HC would miss because of automatic 1 game suspension. Commish gave me option of switching off the game. I saw no reason to switch off the game so I kept it. This is the coach's first season so I'm sure I'll see him many more times.

BTW, in Virginia an ejection of the HC (don't know about assistants) is a 1-game suspension and a $500 fine for the school. Any other states have similar rules?

That T you gave, albeit late, was very good.
