I'm not talking about the no-brainer(to me) "T"s like swearing, throwing the ball away, bouncing it up to the rafters, Italian salutes, pulling a jersey over a face, putting on an elaborate show, etc. With those, you better take care of bidness. I'm talking about the annoying little crap like what's being discussed in this particular thread. There's a heckuva difference there imo.
Nah, I agree with you. But you're nothing like your caricature. :)

One could also say that if you go looking for trouble, you will likely find it. We can discuss fortune cookie sayings all day long. I just don't see a kid shouting "And 1" as a technical foul.

Nothing at all has changed over the years.

I think there are several posters who would qualify as dummies.

Heard these old chestnuts from the coaches:

1. "Call it both ways"

4. "That call was garbage as were all the others you've made"

6. "You two are the worst two officials I've ever seen." Partner T'd the coach.

I give you Basketball folks credit.............1-4-6 are EJs in my baseball games.......

It helps having the T to meet them half way. :)
4 an 6 are Ts, 1 will get addressed just as quickly as a coach whining about the foul count.

Stan, as a new basketball official, newer football official and a not-as-new baseball umpire, I've come to appreciate the ability in basketball and football to T up a player or drop a flag for USC. Baseball really gives us no choice but to send them to the parking lot.

Or - You're right coach - they send the worst of us to do the games with the worst teams.

Similar to "Hey ref, you're missing a good game!" "I know, coach, but unfortunately they sent me here instead."

I agree on 4 and 6. 1 is a swift and stern warning.

That's really a put down of the kids. I would rather not do that. Putting down the coaches is different. They're adults - at least chronologically. :rolleyes:

after one of my games. fairly casual game with about 10 fouls called on the losing team and 5 on the winning team.
losing coach--- "you did a great job"
losing and winning fans-- "nice game ref"
winning coach "you sucked"

me "huh" I think it was because his team nearly gave up a 10 point lead with a minute to go and they choked a few games last year in the 4th so probably brought back bad memories.
Well, see you in the regular season buddy. I think he had the most Techs last year. Going to enjoy T'ing him up.
