Partner wears out whistle

[rockyroad]

A question if I might...if your Partner is having to throw out all these T's, what exactly were you doing???

If I am working a game where multiple T's have to be issued, no way am I going to sit back and let one person be the one to issue all of them.

Yeah it sucks when I give the 1st one & the opportunity presents itself for my partner to give the 2nd, but I wind up having to close the deal too

I embrace the opportunity to piggyback (if applicable)!

Agreed...and in the OP there were 7 T's issued and two parents ejected. All by ONE of the two officials. So either one of the officials was hiding and not wanting to be involved, or one of the officials was being way too sensitive to what was going on and being said. That's really the only two things I can picture here. And both are troubling to me.

There is also the possibility that all these things were said to the younger official and he just had to deal with it on his own. Odds are slim, to be sure.

Whether the gripe with my younger partner is legit or not, I will join the party if the coach is acting a fool. I really cant see working a 2 person game in which 7 Ts are assessed & I dont have a one of them.

Double down to get involved

You better believe I wouldn't be involved in a game where seven technical fouls were handed out, and I didn't get at least one or two. Heck when I first started officiating, my motto was T first, ask later.

I could maybe - MAYBE - see that with the T's on the Coach and the AC. But not with the player T's and the parents being ejected. That had to be heard...

True, and after a couple of them, I'd get together as a crew (2 or 3) and make a concerted effort to have another official get the next one if he heard it. Not that I'd shy away from it as the calling official if I was the only one to hear the next offense, but still....

Agreed...and there have been times when a partner has called a couple and then hits the whistle again and I "double up" with him/her just to take it so he/she doesn't have to.
