If you were paying attention I said basically I would have had no problem with a FF2 given to Anderson for the body block, I just do not feel you give two Ts to Anderson (he got one after the FF) for what took place.

I thought the argument was whether Anderson should have received a second T for the shove after the two players squared off.

Nope. My point was that if Tyler got a T for his part of that altercation, that Andersen should get a T in addition to his flagrant foul....that the flagrant didn't preclude getting a T for the square-off/shove. You couldn't just give Andersen a flagrant and consider that enough.

Well the NBA rescinded Tyler's T and upgraded Anderson's FF1 to FF2.

Looks like they didn't think the "face off" between Tyler and Anderson was the same.

Well the officials at the time did and at all of our levels there would be no retracting of a penalty. The NBA has rules for accumulation of Ts and can go back and take action on those decisions. But in my game, a player tha does that is getting a T if I am giving the other player one. If you want to avoid a T, walk away. If you cannot do that, then you get what you deserve. And I see players at the HS level walk away from someone often, so I do not give a pass to a pro player that has more to lose.

So are you saying you're a HS official?
