Our association had its annual dinner tonight and I won the Mr. T award for the third year in a row. That means it's now named after me! My prizes were a pair of ear plugs and a hook for my hand.
I'm so humbled by this outpouring of affection from my fellow zebras. I just hope I don't get jock itch while wearing the hook.

I'm sure they all deserved those T's you handed out. What was your most memorable? We had a JV game for my son's team and one of his teammates was hit with 3 successive T's. Guess he didnt think the ref would hit him with a third after being ejected (he said something about how nice a ref he thought he was as he was leaving the gymn). I know the ref and believe me when I say this kid deserved everyone of them. Keep em smiling, Mark. Jack

quote: Of course they ALWAYS deserve them. My most memorable this season actually came in a rec league game - high school varsity boys level. Here's what happened: This league has a rule that if a team gets three technicals for the game, they forfeit. During warmups, A1 dunked the ball. I T him and explain to both coaches that we will start the game with team B shooting two and getting the ball. B1 makes both and we go to inbound at the division line. A1 is guarding B1, who is trying to inbound. B1 throws the ball in and A1 bats it back. It hits the floor OOB, then bounces up and hits B1, who is also OOB. My partner goes to give the ball back to B1, since A1 caused it to go OOB. A1 screams that it hit B1 OOB and that he should get the ball. My partner calmly explains that it hit the floor OOB first after A1 batted it, so it's B's ball. A1 screams at my partner and yells a profanity. My partner T's him. That's two and they both happen to be against A1, so he's gone. Immediately, Coach A starts running across the floor at my partner, yelling at him for "throwing A1 out of the game." I T him before he gets more than three steps onto the floor. That's three and the game is over. I look up at the clock and it shows 7:58 (just the time it took for the inbound play). The entire game lasted two seconds! We packed up and went home. As we were leaving the gym, I thanked my partner for a job well done.

I just don't understand why some players dunk before the game.They know its a T. And cursing at a ref -- they should know that's a no no. And coach should have known better. He must have thought it was the NBA in the 60's when Alex Hannum was "on the court, Alex Hannum is on the court.." as Johnny Most the Celtics announcer would repeat over and over again in his raspy voice, going berserk. Miss those days.

That's a good one!!!!!!!!
Keep up the good work Mr. T Here in Suriname they hate us!! A local player was hitting opponents with his elbows while rebounding. I called the flagrant foul. He walked up to me, handing me the ball, I pointed to the floor, telling him to just put it down. He pressed the ball to my chest with force. I sent him off. His coach came all the way to the officials table to yell at me. I sent him off too. He took his whole team and left the game. The next morning I was called the most arrogant ref in Paramaribo. (Note: The coach is also a reporter for the sport edition of local paper!!)

Welcome to our website! All the way from Suriname! I looked up your country and found a fascinating history -- some very turbulent times. For those that dont know Suriname is near French Guyana -- Atlantic to north and BRAZIL to south. They love the game all over the world!!!!! I think you will find this site quite rewarding for honing your refing skills. I do! and again WELCOME.

Me too!!!! Right now things have slowed down a little since season is over for many refs. This place is really hopping from Nov - March. Check out older threads. Some fascinating discussion with different points of view all backed up by the rules (although interpretations may vary). Jack
