One of the weakest players on our team happened to have the ball at the high post when the D left, and it took him two shots to make the layup. Their crowd laughed.

imagomer,
If I saw that act the same as you did, then I would have a quick talk about sportsmanship and humiliation with that coach. A repeat, then, could warrant an unsporting technical.

IMO, no warning needed. I would have given a technical for the unsporting behavior. Your pre game coachÂ’s and captains meeting should have addressed sportsmanship. During the game, preventive game management means to have sensed the moment to warn before the unacceptable behavior occurs and not to warn after the fact. When the score was lopsided and players/team began to show signs of clowning around, officials should have spoken to the coach that any form of unapproved taunting acts will not be tolerated.

johnny1784,
The reason I would initiate a chat would be to find out, "Wazzupwithat?".
There could have been an actual legitimate reason in that coach's mind.
