Or it makes some officials less likely to call a T when one is needed.

That could be the case I would agree. However, I think most experienced officials know when that line is crossed and would penalize the offender accordingly.

That has not been the case at all. If anything, teams have become more "well behaved" and that was the point. The officials I have worked this league with understand the league's intent regarding sportsmanship and call the game accordingly. BTW - the facility and the league are run by the local YMCA.
