A T that made the game better

[firedoc]

Occasionally you will find a coach (usually the visiting team) who WANTS a T especially when his team is losing or not playing well. His hope is to rile up the players. The question that young officials often have is whether or not to give them what they seem to want. My answer is always the same...if the behavior justifies the T, then issue it even if the coach wants it. This way you don't have to decide on intent, only on behavior.
