I'm not likely to keep piling on T's with every stupid thing she does as long as someone is trying to get her the hell out of the gym.

I think we're on the same page here, I just wanted to be sure you wouldn't sit there and signal T after T in her face with each thing she did, that's the unnecessary escalation that I was referring to.

As much fun as that would be I doubt I'm ever gonna get my Tech-tacular! achievement. That's 5 techs in a row within 4 seconds of each other for you Halo fans.

Does anyone "T him/her in the face"? For any Technical, I'm moving a few steps away from the player, then sounding the whistle and indicating Technical Foul, and then proceeding to leave the area and report. And if I'm concerned about a fight, I will get the players separated first before calling a technical. After calling the technical and ensuring no escallation, I'm leaving the area and my partner(s) can assess whether or not a second T is warrented.

If the player is being led off and does something that I feel deserves a 3rd T, I'm taking a step away from the player and pausing for a second before sounding my whistle and signaling a technical. If it's bad enough to deserve a 3rd T, everyone in the gym will know what it is for anyway.
