By the way, this is 6th grade in the initial situation. Do not expect that all players at that level will know all of the reason that can cause them to get a T. Therefore, don't always expect that "they know what they did." You are an adult, trained in the rules, and you made the call. You know what they did. And don't think that coaches can see or hear all and magically divine what you called on our player in a big crowd of people congregated during a stoppage at the other end of the court.
If we are going to correct the behavior, we need to know what the call was. If you look under player technical, the list is quite long. Just let me know where you are in the list. Saying ask the player does not get me there. And if I am a jerk about it after you have done your job of keeping me informed, there are more technicals for me listed in the same section of the rule book.
