T Taylor is right. This is much worse in basketball! And if you can defer to the school rep. But it does happen in VB once in awhile and the rep isn't there. I was doing a Jr. High VB game last winter and some of the "cool" 8th grade boys, all of whom I knew, were yelling at the visiting girls. All at once I heard, "Hey #7, I forgot my bra. Can I borrow yours." I turned to the group, pointed, and yelled, "Knock it off!" The gym got very quiet and we resumed play. The school official had been in the hall watching a college basketball game. When he came in and asked what happened I told him and then asked him to shut two of the guys up. He thanked me then walked over and really chewed on the guys a while. He's a former HS V Boy's basketball coach and he can rip and stomp and snort with the best of them. The boys were very very polite after that.
