There is no standard for rec leagues. Depending on where it is, who is involved, and the age of the participants, the acceptable conduct level may vary wildly, anything from equal to a normal high school varsity game to one with adult participants where players and officials exchange profanity. You just have to find out what is expected at your local league and if you are comfortable with it, do it.

In a scholastic game, I get the guy with the arm slap all the way down the floor. The overall boss would whack him I'm sure and be fine with my call, I just couldn't believe my partners and the supervisor on duty (less experience than me) were so surprised that I didn't let it go and took exception to those 3 acts. |

Honestly, I believe you are overthinking it. The 'T' is a tool to manage the game and your sanity. Use it when either are slipping away and move on.

My idea was that in a scholastic game there is near zero tolerance for bench personnel negative reactions in response to calls. Here, the player who got whacked was the captain or de facto coach which is what got him as much rope as he had. But then at the same time, the team leader should set the example, and that certainly wasn't a good one.

Second, even if he's on the bench acting as the coach, I'm not letting a scholastic coach act like you describe either. The foot stomp may have gotten a T from me, but when he continued to bark at the calling official, he earned himself the T (and if you're using high school rules, I'd enforce the seatbelt on Mr. Playercoach).

And people wonder why we don't want to work these games for the peanuts that they offer. A$$hats like this are the reason. The less I'm getting paid, the lower my tolerance level is.

For various reasons I actually enjoy these games most of the time and believe that, to this point, they have been beneficial (at least to me).

And there should be even less tolerance (Less Than Zero?) in a Wreck game.
