Technical or no Technical?

SNAQ, I agree with you on the 'common' fouls, but we also don't get together when we call a common foul either like we do with "T's". I will chalk this up to Potato / Potatoe. Just remember if we ever officiate together, I 'm going to ask!!!!
What can I say, I'm curious like a cat!!

You're right, we get together briefly on Ts, but it's to make sure we get the penalties right and nothing more.
In Padgett's games, where Ts are handed out like travel calls, there would be no need to get together because it would be old hat.

HEY - I resent that. I hardly ever call travels.

First let me say

I was reading this post and stopped to read the PM from BNR that included a link that sent me right back here.

I don't have much to add that others, minus the two who want to explain the call, have said. One thing I will add it using space to stay out of trouble. Using information from the CIAA camp years ago, when I have to inform the coach that he has lost the privilege to stand in this situation I keep a reasonable amount of distance, inform him/her about the loss of the box and then they get to look at my backside. I will NOT literally or figuratively go right over there and give the coach a hug while I hear how bad of a person the big, bad official is for calling a T.

Absolutely, keeping space is a good thing. If you get to close you could end up in a huddle with Bob Huggins and we have seen how THAT turns out!!! Plus, if you keep your distance and the coach continues to carry on his foolishness, then when you toss em, it looks cooler!

Yep, you're considered a referee who takes care of business and gets a Final Four assignment that same year. Kudos to Mike Stuart.
