WHACK

In a youth game? I do close to 100 travel tournament/middle school games a year and haven't given a single "T" out in the last 3 years...Highschool is a different story but I get a kick out of guys that give "Ts" in youth sports...

I give more in those games. High school coaches just behave better and actually respond to warnings.

Yep. I demand respect from coaches at any level towards any crew I'm working with and hold coaches accountable. I don't go looking for opportunities to whack coaches, but, when the situation requires it, I won't hesitate.

I suppose I should consider myself lucky that I don't run across many disrespectful coaches. I have worked in Maine and Montana primarily...two states full of nice coaches I guess! Either that or I don't give them reason to complain..lol..we all know that isn't the case!

The lower the level the more T's. I think it's 2 things. They don't know better and they don't know how to listen when spoken to.

coach has been chipping a little partners and I discuss among ourselves that their bench has run out of warnings....play happens at mid court block charge easy block call goes in favor of the bench out of warnings....one of the assistants still finds it necessary to comment about the fact that had we called things earlier this wouldn't have happened....Partner issues a T....as he is getting ready to admnister it, his little buddy assistant, says and I quote "you don't even know who said it, that is another one you got wrong today" which earned him one from me....I signal then say (pointing to the first assistant) he was the one that spoke first and now this one is for you....two T's by different partners in 6 seconds or less LOL...
