Lightbulb Restraint.

I am not taking sides on whether or not you should have called a T or on. But I do believe that you can solve a lot of problems by just having a quick word or talk with a player. Sometimes all it takes is a couple of words or a slight conversation to avoid having to call a T. Just let them know that their behavior is not going to be tolerated and you will be surprised what they will decide to do after that. You do not have to even mention a T at all. And if you have to T someone, no one can say you did not warn them. Sometimes a little restraint will go along way. Unless you were called out of your name or they got personal with you, I think you can always have a little talk that everyone can see, and the coaches will get the message as well.

Peace
