Flagrant T v. T

We could toss on two techs, but had to adhere absolutely to the same-ref-doesn't-give-2-T's-to-same-player-and-toss mentality, no matter what (although many were too hesitant to ring a player up). There was no tossing on 1 unless it was a fight.

That much I know, but I am wondering more about practical applications in the eyes of people with more years since it is so very subjective.

I began, and have been, in college intramural ball for the past 3 years at a school that did not allow flagrant T's outside of fights. I am at a new school beginning my 4th year, and they allow them, although offer no description or guidelines, and actually encourage them because they are cracking down on behavior like when the NBA first initiated their respect of the game initiative. I also plan to begin association ball in the fall of 2013 so I am wanting to make sure I fill in all the gaps that intramural ball had that association will not.
