Funny you should mention this because I had this same situation last night in a rec game (boys-16). We had 2 howler monkeys from the gitgo and both teams mimicked their coach. Everything was questioned even if it was called on the other team. Constant whine/*****/moan. I gave Team A coach the "stop sign" about half way through the 1Q, and told him I did not want to hear anymore comments coming from his bench. Next trip down the court, he and his bench argued OOB call. Coach was really vocal and my partner T'd him. We also had 2 Ts on Team B and in the 3Q, we had 2 more T's on Team A - game over. This league has a rule of 3 T's on a team and game is over. After the game was suspended, the league commissioner came over and told us that we had called the game too tight and we needed to understand that these were not high school teams and the "should be allowed to complain". It was all I could do to not laugh at him. I told him that the same rules apply in rec games as they do in high school games. He said he would talk to our assignor about the "tight calls" and I told him to make sure he pronounced the names right.
I must be trying to tie Mark Dexter for T's.
