T or no T?

It would be like saying, "We are going to address handchecking" and the first act that looks like handchecking you are going to be seen as not doing what you suggested.

Not saying I am right, I just think you open yourself up the more you talk in that meeting.

Agreed.

I'm not a fan of a coach making the "you've gotta help him" comment to one official. That's a personal dig, and I have no problem with the T. He doesn't need to vent when the call is that clear and correct.

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.

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.
