We are going to be working a game this week that may be the biggest game in the state. It is a district championship game and the winner may eventually be the state champ in their division. Both teams are very intense and aggressive. However, one is on the side of dirty/cheap with lots of shots away from the ball or right at the pile if they can catch someone not looking or pulling up. We've had these guys before and usually get them early for the shots at the pile. Once they get the game under control they usually calm down a bit and we don't see it anymore.
What's the best way to handle this in a pregame conference with a coach that has a huge chip without making it sound like we will going to be watching out for it?
