How many "T's" this year?

[Camron Rust]

I don't normally keep count....

But 7 last week over 2 games.

1 in my Tuesday game....player threw the ball at another player after they disengaged from a held ball.

6 on Friday....

#1. MY T: Getting stuck in a mismatch, a small player Home1 fouls a big player Visiting5 (almost 1' height difference). After the whistle, perhaps to send a message that he wasn't intimidated by the big guy, Home1 threw his chest/shoulder into Visitor5. T.
#2 & #3. PARNTER's T's: After #1 had settled and my partner got to the players, I went to report...as I was finishing my report I hear tweet-tweet. My partner had a double T on two other players not inovlved in #1.
#4. PARTNER's T: DOG T for breaking the plane after an earlier lengthy delay for water on the court after a timeout....against Home.
#5 & #6. PARTNER : common foul on Visitor1 followed by the players getting in each other's face...BOTH...called T's....double T.

TOTAL:


Against:

• Home: 4
• Visitor: 2

Called by:

• ME ALONE: 1
• PARTER ALONE: 3 (DOG and double-T while I was reporting)
• BOTH: 2

EJECTIONS: 0

Foul count was about eight to one, with the home team on the wrong side of the count. My partner calls a foul against a the visiting team, and while he is reporting the foul to the table, the home coach says, "You finally got one right". Of course he whacked him. It took all that I could do to get him away from the reporting area, calm him down (he was hyperventilating), and get things squared away in terms of free throws, putting the ball back into play, etc. Other than that, I've been lucky. No other technical fouls.

Be sure to ask again in mid February, when teams are trying to get their eighth victory to get into the state tournament. Coaches tend to get pretty worked up around these parts in mid February.

Hey - I told you I wasn't yelling at you. I was yelling at that damned scorekeeper!

This year 2 so far. Both for bad behavior by players.

1 in church league and 1 in a J.V. game.

My goal was zero, but I am still better than in the past. 1/2 of the season is over.

None at the varsity level, I do a fair amount of travel/mens/AAU ball and thanks to this site, my taking care of bidness quotient is way up.

I don't suffer fools lightly as the saying goes. I used to put up with too much nonsense, and I have to say every T has made the game better for all concerned. Probably have called 6-10, I don't keep count. Chased an assistant this past weekend in a feeder tourney with two. Well deserved.

Well, added one more tonight. T'd up a player during a boys Freshman game for profanely expressing his displeasure at a no call. While we're administering, his coach asked me what he said, I whispered it in his ear and the coach apologized profusely and yanked his player out. That coach exhibited a lot of class throughout the game. Didn't scream at his players. Discussed calls or non-calls rationally. I wish more were like him.

Zero so far. I'm actually shocked....had npt thought about it until I saw the thread. I've utilized both the Warn/Whack and the Stop Sign approach to game management this year, after reading about it hear. Several Warns, more than a few Stop Signs....but no Whacks...yet.

umm 2 coaches T'd up, maybe about 5 players. probably a couple more- all for unsportsmanlike- Both coaches were on the floor jumping up and down- one directed at me, the other directed at a partner with his back turned. I don't really count and I call what I see and feel is warranted. I find these people who call between 0 and 2 technicals a year to be something of an oddity. Maybe players in Ontario are just poorly behaved, I dunno.

I can answer this question after today.

One.
