I go tho the coach and inform him of the 5th foul when he replies " You should be ashamed of yourself, this kid whole family has come to see him play. His Grandpa,Grandma and all his aunts and uncles and it is only two minutes into the 4th quarter" It was all I could do not to laugh. Then this coach makes the kid stand on the court for the full alloted time so he can tell me again how mean I was being. This has to be a 1st!
After he said this much, I'd tell him that was enough. Any further griping about how mean I am and I am liable to just get meaner. The "You should be ashamed of yourself" may have earned him a T, depending on how vocal he'd been the rest of the game.
I inform the coach, start the 30-second clock, and go inform the player. I don't get NEAR the bench again until the 20-second horn goes off. If he wants to tell me how awful I am, he's gonna have to shout it and he's likely to get whacked.
