First T in a long long time...

[the24kid]

Had a varsity B game the other day.. Turned out to be a real blowout... white had 29 points in the fourth... red had 79... red was still playing hard and aggressive.. the fellas playing for red were the end of the bench dwellers and it was nice to see them making the most of their opportunity.... a player from white took offense when a red player decided to play aggressive and try to grab the ball from him on the elbow.. my partner was right on top of it on the ball side trail and called the jump ball..i came ball side prior to the call to monitor the two gentlemen in the post... once the whistle blew i came in to get the ball and inbound on the endline with 1:24 left... well white who was involved in the tie up decided to take his frustrations out on me.. droppin multiple f bombs at me and telling me i effin let him get hit in the face... as hard as I tried to play on and hope his tone of voice didn't get louder.. he did escalate his voice and continue to curse... I calmly whistled and gave a half hearted t and moved on... it was my first t in about 3 years at the hs level.. coach yanked him right from the game and later apologized to me... gotta love blow outs.. especially when both teams are in the double bonus

You wanted to "play on" after this?

wow

Any time a player starts dropping the fbomb around me I T immediately!

Calling that a flagrant technical foul would not have been a tough sell!

I can understand trying to give the kid some rope under the circumstances.

A flagrant T for this offense would not be supported around here unless it was loud enough to break glass.

But hey, he was quiet, not demonstrative, not showing up the official.

I'm left wondering if there haven't been a few of these in the past three years.

I think it would be here, but the question would be asked, "Why didn't you get him sooner?"

[ref3808]

F bombs directed at me or my partner or for that matter in almost any situatuon draw an immediate T from me and most officials I work with here.

If a KID dropped multiple F bombs directed at me? He/she can go to the bench and get an early start on icing their knees, doing their math homework or whatever they feel like they can get done on the bench while waiting for the game to be over.

Multiple use of the F word:
College coach - T
College player - T
High School coach - T, possible ejection (how would a high school educator defend this action?)
High School player - ejection

I'm still wondering what happened before this and if there was any indication that rough play or previous behavior could have been handled earlier.

Agreed on all points.
