And here is the crux of the whole issue, IMO.

We can talk all we want about iron-clad consistency, eliminating personal philosophies, etc.

But, at the end of the day, we all make our subjective judgements about items big and small. Every single one of us.

I suppose the goal should be to learn how that judgement process works for the very best officials.

Making those calls in a way that improves the game and manages the situation most effectively is probably what sets them apart from me to begin with

I think the call for consistency is a pipe dream of people like Nevada when it comes to certain issues. The NFHS can cry all they want, but unless local assigners buy in, it won't do any good.

Personally, I wouldn't change the way I call Ts in your game based on the added penalty, but that's me. If you have an issue, you might want to contact that particular league and see if they want you to be more cautious in dishing out Ts.
