I do use the T quite a bit more in these games. My question, though, is do you get the impression that the kids are having fun playing basketball? I see that it's more about winning and mom and dad than the kids. I do see some teams that handle themselves well, but there's always at least 1 coach that watches too much NCAA basketball and thinks he has to be a a@#hole to coach. I
I had a coach in one a couple of weeks ago (7th grade tournament) that was screaming about a foul call. I gave him more rope than I should have (he eventually hung himself), but in his rant he made the comment that it was a 7th grade game and I should have let the contact go. I responded that the fact it was a 7th grade game was the point of the technical...teach your players to play and don't try to work me. He didn't get it and I doubt if he ever will.
