Cool

anything you have listed there could result in a "T"
but sometimes it isn't what but how, things are said.
You will know when to Whack a coach, it just presents itself on a big platter in front of you, it looks like a pumpkin at 40 miles an hour belt high (pardon the baseball reference) and you get to WHACK it out of the park.

be patient though, you do not want to be quick draw, but do not get walked all over either.

any or all could be a T

if coaches know you are a rookie - they will push. Once they find out you are not afraid to give the T when warranted - they generally will back off unless they are masochists.

You are kidding right? If I'm reading what you wrote, a young official will know when to whack a coach. Uh, if you think so.

Many young officials let a coach go totally over the line and they learn from experience. One way to learn is ask as the OP has done and some of the responses have been very good. But some...

Oh they will know it - what will distinguish them from the others is if they pull the trigger.
I know veterans who don't hit the big fat ones because they are afraid of losing votes or game or their poularity.
That is a part of the learning process, as is asking for all of this great information.
