You did right by telling the player to keep his comments to himself. Let the coach do the talking for him.
I will give a coach the opportunity to voice his opinion on how the game is going, just as long as he does not get personal. On the other hand I will take nothing from the players. Doing both jr high and high school varsity basketball, it seems the players and coaches watch to much college and NBA basketball and they think the game should be officiated and played as such.
Sportsmanship is something I feel is falling by the wayside. Coaches,players,parents are getting way of out hand.
