BTW: I worked 7 years of college IM games and now work an adult Rec League. I have never been shy about calling a Tech or tossing a player out. |

Let's think of it this way: if an NBA player making thousands to millions of dollars would get a T for this without a thought, why the heck should we let some guy in a rec league game get away with it?

Exactly...for one, depending on how demonstrative a player was, he would get whacked in the NBA for the hand slapping bit...but if he decided to do this after the initial play, and then do so after his team got the ball, he'd still be violating the NBA's respect for the game guidelines and would almost certainly get whacked for continuously arguing about the play.

![]() The other problem with not calling a T for the arm-slapping, pirouette thing is you've now backed yourself into a corner for that game. If someone else does it you really can't T them up, either. Is that really what you want?

I was the farthest official from either of the first two acts and didn't want to pull my partner's credibility out from under them (and I also believed they were experienced enough to shut this guy down). By the third I didn't care where it was...

Understood and we've all been there but sometimes we have to save each other - and, effectively, the entire crew - from ourselves with a call no matter where we are. I'd be upset with the other guys because they put all of you in a lousy spot for that game.

There was no instigation by the other team, at least in my opinion. I have no reason to believe that that was happening in this game nor have I seen it in other games. However, never really thought about that before. This could be something that could happen to get someone out of a varsity game. i will watch for this more in the future. |
