Let's play the T-Worthy Game
Was going through my mind some of the statements I've heard coaches say over the years. Was wondering whether, in and of themselves, you find them T-worthy.
"You have no clue what you're doing out there, do you?" "Seriously, that call was atrocious." "Do you have a problem with me?" "What is your problem?" "You're doing a great job, but your partner is awful." "It's tough playing 8 on 5." "Blow your whistle for crying out loud!" |

You let him tell you how terrible your partner is and you are ok with that? You let him accuse you and both of your partners of cheating and you are ok with that as long as it is said softly? ![]() |

Some of us go to the T immediately, others use the tool when all else fails.

A false dichotomy IMO. I'm all for giving a coach plenty of rope but there are some things that will stretch that rope out a lot quicker. My big one is insulting my integrity. It's as close to an automatic T as I have and I would not consider myself as unable to handle my business or be a weak communicator. I simply don't stand for it.

I seriously doubt that allowing these have anything to do with someone walking all over anyone. If anything I would wonder why you were so thinned skinned if every time someone said something to you negative you were giving a T. That could also be a wrong evaluation as well. We all do not have the same tolerance level for these things, which is why some are considered good at GM issues and others are not. You cannot pull a comment out of the sky and always how the situation should be handled. Peace

![]() I'm not going to just let a coach do anything. If I have an opportunity to address the behavior, then I'll try to. Sometimes a coach doesn't allow us to show him the line he's about to cross so an immediate whack is warranted. But the OP asked, in of itself, if the statements above would warrant an immediate T. I believe in very few "automatic" T's (I sound like JRut here ![]() And as a matter of fact, I all but said the 8v5 would be a T

And the 8 vs. 5 isn't a T?!? That's the worst one of them all! The only argument on that one should be is it flagrant or not? In the other ones he is just telling you about how much you or your partner suck; you might be bad but at least you aren't trying to make sure the other team wins. In the 8 vs. 5 comment he is actually calling you, and your 2 partners, cheaters. |

Who here has NEVER called a "T"?
I have worked with about 6 guys who NEVER call a "T" no matter what. I had a partner see a pre game dunk and said "did you see that?" I said "What?" He said, " That kid just dunked" I asked, "are we starting the game with a "T"?" He said, "No I am just going to tell him not to do it again." They are out there, I got about 3 or 4 T's out of the first batch of comments. |
