interesting

so after i ask this player 3 times and he doesn't listen -- i have to walk to a coach or captain and now ask them -- how does this make the crew look to the other team (a) and fans (b) -- i think you lost all credibility when you ask a player and he doesn't listen and then you go and hunt down the captain/coach and ask him -- if the coach or captain cannot see that you are trying to talk to a player who is not listing and they dont step in then the T to the player could vey well be handed to the coach/captain for not doing their job as well.

and in a situation like that -- The ref did not decide the outcome of the game, the player did. Just because its a close game and an important one doesn't mean the player/coach can start acting like know it all jackasses. If you T him up is sucks for his team -- well if you don't T him up then it sucks for the other team who didn't do anything wrong.

I really think it absurd to ask the coach/captain for help here after I have asked this kid/adult -- there are consequences for actions and they know when they are pushing the limit, they always know when they get "T'd" up that it was coming. Don't make this a bigger deal than it would be in a game by running around and asking coach/captain/kids parents for help in controling him -- after all we are the authority on the court act as such.
