I had 5 or 6. 3 were in one game in a span of 30 seconds: player slams down ball; head coach comes out on the floor gesturing; bench coach throws clipboard! Earlier in the game my partner and I had a simultaneous whistle T against a player, but he reported it.
The thing about T's is this: if its there, you need to call it. Don't go looking for them, but I have zero tolerance for player misbehavior. If a coach responds to my warning and doesn't "get stupid," we're generally going to be OK. But if you're being harassed, you need to respond with a T. |

Not as many as I should have....
In reflecting about my past season, I have come to the realization that I am most disappointed about the "T"s that I did not give.
I worked approximately 125 games this year: 25 V, 40 sub-varsity, 60 MS level. I issued a dozen "T"s. 3 HC, 5 Players, 2 Bench, 2 Admin (book errors). My philosophy on the use of the "T" has had a significant paradigm shift in the latter part of the season. I used to reserve the "T" as a last resort action. Now, I tolerate much less "crying" from players and coaches, moreso coaches because they are the "adults."

I just finished my season Tuesday, I've ended this season with 72 games, 23 technicals, 2 player ejections, and 2 fan ejections.
So, now I'll sit back and let you guys jump on me for having so many, but dangit, sometimes you just gotta handle things! CH |

I've only had 3 this yr (all players), which is down from previous yrs. Don't know the reason - more tolerance, managing the games better, players more behaved, whatever.
I don't like calling em and I also don't mind calling em. Just another foul to me. But, when they earn em.....I give em!

Technical Fouls
This year I only called one Technical. I actually got switched this year from the girls side to the guys side. I noticed that on the boys side in the area that I officiate a little more discipline and coaches don't really argue as much. The girls are also coached well just that the coaches at the JV level don't know when to coach thier team and talk to the officials. It was like everytime down the floor, 'My player got pushed.' "My player didn't walk, all she did was move both feet." (True story)
