I did. You quoted my comment about it not being disrespectful. Your reference to profanity is in regard to a diff situation. Under one's breath and the statement the player made is hardly worthy of a TF and is difficult to remain consistent on.

In your opinion.

Unsporting technical fouls are always going to have a high degree of judgment involved and should take into account the particular Roman province you call games, the level, temperature of the game, etc. I have a hard time criticizing a fellow official for issuing a technical foul without being there.

I said, the entire post. You missed the line above regarding under one's breath.

I'll give far more leeway to a high school player than to a sixth grader regarding under-one's-breath comments. A sixth grader will get no leeway at all. I'd also go right to a T, even if it were under his breath.

Ultimately, though, Welpe summed it up nicely. Mostly, these are HTBT situations.

appreciate the bantor

Thanks for offering of opinions as always. I accept that people see it differently and I agree with HTBT, but the OP presented it for discussion, the context is what was stated.

Not that it matters, but I really am an official (level does not matter, but if you need to know, you can PM me).

For those of you that said this is a TF, good luck calling it consistently and stop baiting 6th graders.

You're right, it doesn't matter, enjoy third graders telling you "you suck"
