When to give a "T"

I'll be the first to admit, I've been known to give refs fits, but I find two things work very effectively with me:

1. The ref politely tells me to sit down. I find when I sit on my brain I'm a lot quieter.

You sound like you'd be a hoot to officiate for.

One thing to think about, though - my experience is, giving T's is probably more indicative of a personality trait that a ref'ing preference. You may to work with both "extremes" individually to change behavior.

You're correct. You can't change personality but you can change behavior.
