Inadvertent Whistle limit

Officials do need to be highly aware of situations like these. An automatic T is not a good thing, imho.

A first year JV coach likely doesn't think about such things as to yell instructions to his players when an official isn't nearby. I can't say for certain, since I wasn't there, but based on your account, it certainly sounds like this T is unwarranted.

In my entire career, I've actually taken back 1 T. It happened after I learned more info from my P. Ya, it didn't look good, but it was the right call.

One way to quickly move up from JV to V is to understand people, and that includes understanding how first year JV coaching works.
