Should I have "T"ed this?

I'll admit, I keep up with my T's (but, I haven't been around as long as some of you and maybe this will stop someday). I keep them in my log and annual game report (for taxes, plus learning).

Here's how I have used mine before.

This year I gave the same player two - T's and ejected him. I told the Rec league it was the first time I've ever done that.

Last year I T'd and ejected a coach and tossed a fan in the same game. Again, I wrote my report to the league and told them it was a first for me.

Important? Maybe not. But to a Rec League Commissioner, who knows me and my demeanor very well, who might be deciding on a punishment or enforcement, to say I have reffed x-hundreds of games and this is the first time I've ever given two-T's to one player or tossed a coach/fan may just show them how unusual this is and get my point across.

In filing my HS reports, I just file em.

Let the beatings commence.
