How many "T's" this year?

Exactly!

Technical fouls are never a criteria as to how well an official controls a game or how good they are at game management. The circumstances that relate to each individual technical foul do that.

1 - on HC. She thought she was my wife. Nuff said!

Wow! ROTFLMAO!

I just did the tally. 7 unsporting T's so far. Ouch.

Four to head coaches - 2 middle school games, one 9 year old rec game and one freshman game

Three to players - two for spiking the ball and one for profanely informing my partner and I that he disagreed with our call selection.

Since when is going "over the back" a technical foul?

Three so far. 2 were in my second game of the season on 2 players for getting up after a battle for the ball. THey got in each other faces and pushed each other slightly. THen I had one the other day. Partner had a foul. and the kid was walking away from him and said rather loudly that he highly disagreed with the call. (or more like that was F-ing Bullpoop) Either way he got banged. All in all everyone has been good this year. I did have a thats enough on a college coach last night. He told me he thought one of my partners had a vendetta against him.

60 games so far this season, 8 technicals

Game #34 -- Coach -- 7th grade boys -- unsportsmanlike
Game #45 -- Player -- men's rec -- unsportsmanlike
Game #45 -- Player -- men's rec -- unsportsmanlike (ejection)
Game #50 -- Team -- 8th grade girls -- second delay of game
Game #55 -- Player -- JV boy -- shove
Game #55 -- Coach -- JV boys -- unsportsmanlike
Game #55 -- Player -- JV boy -- unsportsmanlike
Game #56 -- Player -- 8th grade boy -- unsportsmanlike

I was lucky for the first half of the year, but now things seem to be accelerating!

Fixed it for ya'.

Zero so far. Had a partner call a team T after granting an excessive TO. Thats it.

I do plan to call one on 02/08/10.

3 this year... two on a coach for unsporting, one on a player for unsporting.

EDIT: these three were ones I've called, but had games where my partner has called one or two. Total for this combined this year is around 7 I believe.

First T of the season tonight to visiting HC.

JVB..physical game but the crew was consistent both ways.

Midpoint 2nd quarter I'm trail near benches when during deadball coach starts getting mouth. Says we need to call it both ways (foul count was 4-3), and wanted to know if I was going to stop calling cheap fouls.

WHACK.

He moaned the whole rest of the game but he was never loud or violated his seatbelt rule. One point I heard him say it was "all about us" referring to the officials and that's what I probably should have tossed him but didn't.

One point when his player was called for player-control (my call), he called timeout. After the TO, he goes, "Are we shooting free-throws?"

ME: No coach, it was player control against your team.

As I walk away I hear him say, "Sorry I asked."

I just kept walking. At that point he was hurting his team more than me throwing him out of the game and you really have to cross the line with me to get tossed.
