A JV game involves 13,14 and 15 year olds generally. Sportsmanship is very important at this level and we should have zero tolerance for this kind of behavior from kids. Telling him you are going to give him a T is a threat. I've done this, sure, and I was told by an evaluator not to do it again. I haven't done that in quite some time. Whether it is unsporting behavior or constant physical play, I always tell my partner(s) in the locker room "we will be able to find 10 players that want to play tonight." We cannot allow kids to run our games and constantly complain about everything. These kids will make us look foolish in the end if we let them slide in the beginning of the game. It is just like foul calls, we have to call it early so we can avoid it late or call it late and be consistent.
The words I say go for me too.
