1. Coach or player acts up
2. After #1 is repeated I give stop sign (if #1 is done by coach if not go to #3)
3. If #1 is repeated after #2 then I give technical foul
4. If #1 is repeated after #1 and #2 a partner should give additional technical foul
Sounds rather boring, methodical and robotic to me. Plus, that isn't the way things happen in this game. If all partner practice good game awareness, sometimes things will go this way and sometimes they won't.

I agree with this. You can't put absolutes on what we do. Sometimes you have no choice but to call the T's yourself. I had a JV opener before a varsity game I posted about a couple of weeks ago. I had to call 2 easy ones on the home team in the opener and then I gave the varsity coach way too much leash becuase I didn't want to give the impression that I was only out there to throw the T. I won't make that mistake again. I should have ran the jerk. If the unsporting act is there, take care of business.
