You called a T 5 seconds into your first game?
I couldn't bring myself to call one for about 20 games.
I am impressed!

I had one in probably my third game; middle school boys. Player decided he was frustrated enough to throw the ball against the wall after they gave up a basket.

Yeah, but it didn't count since my partner "over-ruled" me.

I don't remember when/what/where my first official "T" was in my career.
