For the record, I t'd him up right there, and it felt great, but I want to make sure you guys felt it merited it. Thanks
This is one of those situations that justifies the big bucks we get. You need to decided how to manage the situation.

Personally, if the kid has been "crying the whole game," why are you waiting until the 3rd quarter to address it? I'm not saying you should have called a T earlier, but there may have been a way to get him to "stop crying" way before this (two examples are going through his coach or going through his captain).

Usually, we can nip situations like this early in the game without a T. JMO.
