Let's play the T-Worthy Game

[MD Longhorn]

I agree with most that almost all of these require context and are not immediate T's ... but could be.

However, put me in the camp of ALWAYS T'ing up the 8v5 comment. I don't think it's just me either - saying (or implying) the officials are intentionally calling against 1 team is equivalent to saying they are cheating. This is right up there with, "How much are they paying you for these calls?" or "Gee ref, got money on this game?"

Agreed. I'm not sure I can think of a scenario where the 8/5 comment doesn't bring a quick T, but it's possible. It's not the same as referring to the foul count, IMO.

First T of the year yesterday. Player asked me if I was crazy.

In reading all the opinions on this thread I have come to the conclusion that I either have thick skin or haven't worked enough games. (Disclaimer I'm all JV, AAU and rec at this point). The only T's I can remember issuing are for F bombs loud enough for the arena to hear. And those were by players. I have had coaches make comments that require my attention but nothing that has made me "whack" them for it.

When the coach is right?
