I had a very high number of T's this season, easily my most ever, but only one on a coach. And it was the fewest amount of games I've worked since I got into officiating.

Just Another Ordinary Day In The Life Of An Official ...
Four. Two on coaches. No ejections. One on a player. One delay of game. All were the easy-peasy-lemon squeezy variety. Didn't have to think twice about any of them. Ordinary garden variety technical fouls. Didn't lose sleep over any of the four. If all four situations happened again today, I'd call all four technical fouls all over again, and still not lose a bit of sleep.

There are just too many factors involved to know. My example comes from softball. I ejected twice in 5 years, then moved to a new area - 2 ejections in the first two weeks, followed by a tourney in week 3 where I tossed 4 coaches AND had the stands cleared by the TD in a single game. Do I think I personally changed? No. Just as coaches eject themselves and we merely announce it, T's call themselves - like said above, it is just another foul. Call it and move on. Don't gauge your performance on it any more than you would your regular foul count.
