How many "T's" this year?

[Vinski]

Pretty ho hum… 4 total. 1 admin T, 1 slapping the ball on the throw-in, 1 sportsmanship T on a visiting coach and 1 on a home coach.

I forgot to mention one in my previous post. Boys Catholic middle school game. I call a foul on A1 to which he responds, "F**k". I believe that he was mad at himself, but it was still an easy technical foul, which is probably why I forgot about it.

2 on players, both unsportsmanlike (1 JH in the fall, 1 JV, both boys)

1 in a BV game last week for reaching across the sideline and slapping the ball on a throw-in.

The only one involving a coach that I've had was last night in a 3-person BV game and one partner whacked the Home's HC in the 3rd quarter. I should have stuck a JH coach in a game in the fall but didn't pull the trigger.

dont know maybe 10-12

only 1 on a coach. 2 were administrative and the other 7-9 were on players for various reasons.

Just one on GV coach for telling his girls (loudly) to "just run over them, knock them out. They won't call anything." Said as I was reporting the third foul :45 seconds into the 1st quarter.

I might pass of the T and wait till a hard foul and assess a flagrant T

Scratch this. Add a T to a HC tonight. V team is down by 5 with about 30 seconds left and I'm L. V player flips up a shot and I get blocked out so I can't see if the H player contacts the ball or her arm. (Partner later told me he thought it was the ball that got hit) We both pass on it. As we go the other way, I'm new T and the V coach starts screaming "You have to call that.....that is horrible!". I'm at the division line and turn around and stick him. His response..."Thank you".

I also had a parent in the front row behind the endline who was from the V team and was telling me during a FT that "I should T myself" and that "We've screwed these girls over" tonight or something to that effect. Oh joy.

That parent would be bye-bye in my game.

I think it's funnier if you ignore them as long as they're not vulgar or physically threatening anyone. Didn't want to give him attention or the satisfaction that I was listening to him.

in a vaccuum I would agree with you. But let me ask a real dangerous question. What is the real purpose of interscholastic sports? Is it just to build strong bodies twelve ways? Or is it to also teach life lessons about self discipline, teamwork, sacrifice and sportsmanship? Because if it's latter, then we need to enforce behavior that is unsportsman like. Enciting a crowd by saying we are screwing the kids certainly falls under that category

Boys varsity last night. Second period. My partner warns the home team for crossing the boundary line on a throwin. Home team relentlessly presses the entire game. Third period. Home team crosses the boundary line on a throwin again. Team technical foul.
