The actions did not constitute anything that was personal in nature. Robinson did not stare the guy down, didn't look back, didn't MF him (pretty sure), didn't even make him flinch. He was leading an emotional comeback and was not out of control.

This is not the NBA

Your last statement doesn't make sense to me.

If the play happened as you described, it wouldn't be a T at any level.

Players are allowed a certain amount of emotion was what I was referring to.

Interesting...I would content that players are allowed to show a lot more "emotion" in the pros compared to the NCAA.

(Side note, I hate when announcers always refer to emotions of the players (usually when a player gets a T)...as if players can't control themselves at all)

I don't remember the time but I do remember Robinson aggressively handing/pushing the ball at the official's midsection.

Something I probably wouldn't T, but I definitely would have addressed the player, and I wouldn't have done it subtly.

Well, you may not think it was anyhting but the guy working the natiional championship game did. Obviously the official disagrees with you and addressed it with Robinson.

If it was that bad he would've T'd Robinson then and there. The fact is he did not, the crew chose to say something to the player.

Addressing it is fine and something that I agree with. I was just referring to the OP as to whether or not it was T-worthy. Also did not think it was worthy of starting after the player, would have made sure to say something to the coach either before the IB or on the way up the floor. Then would say something to the player during next dead ball, or during the same dead ball if the player remained close enough to do so.

I believe we are on the same page or at least the same chapter
