Should have I pulled the trigger?

[VaTerp]

I've got a slightly different and apparently unpopular take on the first T. "A "no way" and a turning brush off in a 30 point game? I'm not going to argue with a T here but I may have handled it differently, especially if I can let the coach know that "#22 is being a d-bag, you may want to yank him or say something to him (not in those words)." And personally I don't like the "easy, you don't want another one" line b/c depending on the way it's delivered it easy for that to come across as a threat and get a negative reaction.

I'm not criticizing here just offering food for thought on perhaps handling this a little differently. And certainly not blaming you for Vs antics but maybe their frustration doesnt escalate if they don't get Td up late and down 30.

T #2 sounds easy.

The 3rd situation is a tough one for you b/c I can see how you don't want to come off as T happy so early in your career. But if he makes eye contact with you and you see that gesture you need to toss him without thinking twice. And in the report I'd take JetMet's advice and keep emotions out of it but do have all details ready and check your local listings for what they want in the initial report. Around here, if we issue a flagrant technical our assignor wants every single detail.
