2 Pre Game Techs

[Rob1968]

Many years ago, I had a game between rivals, with a D1 signee on each team, but each of them going to rival Universites. aA we approached the floor, we could hear the crowd reacting to an impromtu dunk exhibition between the two stars. So as not to have to T-up either or both of them, we sent a young man affiliated with the Home team to tell them to knock it off, before we got to the floor.
Then, when we did arrive on the floor, one of the two players involved came and thanked us. (They know that pre-game dunking is illegal, if the officials see it...)

Here, varsity officials blow their whistle before they enter the court to as to stop the pre-game dunk contest before they "see" something.

Gotta love Texas high school sports.

Why didn't you just put some air into your whistle like our colleagues in the Lone Star State do?

It's a great idea. Had I been sure that they could hear it and recognize what it meant, I would have.
