Coaches and players will do whatever we let them do for the most part. If they are consistently dealt with the smart players and coaches will change their behavior.

And if they aren't consistently dealt with, coaches won't change their behavior and then they'll be openly talking about the officials to their players. [/B][/QUOTE]

Exactly, which is why I talked to him so his players could hear me on purpose. At that point in the game, ejecting him would have been useless. Talking to him and sending the message that what he was saying wasn't alright was the best thing to do to get the game over with.
