I ref intermurals and find that a technical foul after a couple warnings (unless they cuss at us, automatic WHACK) will usually get the players off our backs and let us ref and them play the game. I think its important if its going to be a tech for excessive complaining, insults, etc it should come in the first half to set a standard for the game to be entirely effective. Last half of the game I take into consideration emotion and let a little more slack of guys if they've been well behaved earlier in the game.
