T or no T?

[Rich]

When the coach asked if you were a varsity official, I would've said "this isn't a varsity game."

Yup.

Me: "Okay -- good call Rooster."

(oh yeah -- no T, based just on the comment and not on any animation)

What I WANTED to say was "Are you a varsity coach?" The swelling is just now starting to go down from where I bit my lip...

So if it happens and is called the way the POE suggests, fewer people can be beside themselves.

I have no problem with that T either, especially within the context of what had been said earlier. That particular comment is a pet peeve of mine.

Good "T"

[just another ref]

I probably don't have a T for these words, unless, as others have said, they are accompanied by excessive gestures or whatever.

I don't have a problem with "You gotta help him out......" unless my partner actually comes to help.

If I T'd someone up for that, then I would triple or quadruple my totals of Ts. I just tell coaches, "I do not have to do a darn thing." Usually stops that mess.

How about, "Are you a varsity coach?"

+1

If this were the first time the coach crossed the line, I'd probably give a "not again," but after repeated issues, starting with pre-game, I'd cite ABS.

FWIW, there's still some ignorance about the elbow above the shoulders POE. There was such a foul in tonight's UMaine/UAlbany game, and the officials went to review the video of the foul. When the replay aired, the color commentator boldly stated, "That's not more than a foul. He (the defender) has to give him SOME room, doesn't he?" (Argh!) Very quickly, you could hear someone telling the announcing crew F1 is required for such fouls.

Yes there is, but college actually changed their rules to reflect what the NF wants to imply should be called. The NF never changed their rule they gave an interpretation.
