My personal total in the past week was 2. But as crews we had 2 on Tuesday, 3 on Saturday, and 3 last night.

It's Six P.M., Do You Know Where Your March Hare Is ???
 

Last night. Catholic middle school "little kids" game. Third period. H1 interferes with ball, bouncing it away, after a basket by H. Partner gives the delay of game warning to H. Few minutes later. H2 crosses the boundary on a throwin by V, after being warned several times. H2 says, "But I didn't touch him". I report the second delay of game warning, and the technical. Pretty boring "Tea Party". Ho. Hum.

I've given 1 T (on a player for a two handed chuck after the whistle) in three years as a certified official, one year a full schedule (30+ games) of sub varsity games, and two on a regular crew with +- 20 varsity dates and another +-15 sub varsity dates.

Am I doing it wrong?

Only you can tell us that. Are there any situations where you think back and think you should/could have assessed a 'T'?

Not really, I was just sort of joking..

I've only have two occasions where I regret not giving a T. One was early in my first year (I think it was my second game) in a 2 man JV game. I was trail table side and my partner was on the baseline opposite of the home bench. I don't remember the exact nature but the HC was upset at something and was clear across half court barking at my partner. Had I stuck him there he would probably have gone back to his seat. As it was he stayed out there a little too long and said something that really got him in trouble, and caused a headache for the AD, our local assigner, and some state officials. It was a great learning experience for a new official with the lesson being sometimes a T is a good thing for everyone involved.

The second instance was just last year doing a local youth tournament. As I was jogging down the court table side I overheard an assistant "coach" tell a player to box out instead of just standing around "with your dick in your hand". It wasn't loud enough for anyone outside of the bench to hear but I still should have stuck him. It was a 6th grade team damn it and your supposed to be a coach, a leader, and role model, act like it.

I would have been laughing too much to blow my whistle...LOL

+1:d

For the second time ever, I started a game with a T last night. Book had wrong numbers for two players, one a starter. My first time ever was last Friday. JVB game, after our girls game, my P checked the book with 4 min on the clock, and the visitors weren't anywhere around with the roster.
