Late in the game, team A down by about 15, B gets fouled by A1, who says loud enough for everyone to hear, "I never even touched her. How can you call that?!!!" This was a guy making the comment in a coed league. I T'd him up. Was it appropriate?
Matt,
When that happens to me, I figure one of two things:
1. I had the call solidly, and the kid is blowing smoke. (That's when I give that "Teacher Look")
2. I may have kicked the call and he may deserve to blow a little smoke.
Either way, I probably won't "T" him up on something that sounds that weak, because then the "T" could look like a purely defensive reaction on my part.
Of course, if he gets unsportsmanlike, then he'll get Banged.
In the second case, he gets Banged in a blink.
