    Does there come a point where the coach decides to get his protest so much to at the very least earn a T?

    Don't recall the specifics at all, but I remember a Lady Longhorn game back in the day when Texas was getting jobbed by the refs.  Jody Conradt went ballistic and stormed onto the court yelling what I assume was a string of obscenities.  She got a technical for her efforts.

    And then the lopsided officiating just stopped.  Just like that.  Best example of a well used technical I've ever seen.

    Medallion is not just notary on steroids, it means the owner of the stamp (i.e. first republic) is guaranteeing that the transaction is legit and authorized and the counterparty can seek damages against them if it's not.  So if first republic was using that for you in minutes without a little background check, then their risk controls are a little lax.  

    They did a background check and they had a multi-year relationship with us already.  What they did differently than Wells Fargo is they did it quickly and efficiently.  When I said in minutes I did not mean 5-10.  It was thorough.  But they did not spend half a day on the phone with some national call center trying to explain things.  They knew what they were doing and what was required.

  3. Looks like First Republic may be looking for a buyer, among other options.  Our checking account is with FRC, so this sucks.  Their service has been excellent throughout the time we've been in CA.  A few years ago when my father passed away I had to get some documents medallion signed (notary on steroids).  I first tried this at a nearby Wells Fargo which took HOURS.  Next time I went to FRC and they had it done in minutes.  Just top notch.

    Not sure what their risk people were doing wrong, if anything, but their customer service has always been top notch.
