Why are we reluctant to call Ts?

[ChuckElias]

Why don't we call the T?

1) Some guys are new and don't realize that they don't have to take the crap.

2) Some guys know they don't have to take it, but but think calling it will make them look bad, or trigger-happy (even when a T is clearly deserved).

3) Some guys intentionally withhold it b/c they don't want to "insert themselves" into the game.

4) Some guys think they will get ahead more easily if they can "buddy up" to the coaches.

5) Some guys just don't care if the coach goes nuts. It doesn't affect their calls, so they just ignore it.

6) Some guys have a different view of what's unsporting. (To a certain extent, some of these guys wear the label "thick-skinned".)

That's all I can think of for now.
