Tonite, I had a game that had a supposed stud on the visiting team. I guess everyone treats him like he is a superstar, but "I am not the one" as they say.

I had a similar situation a few years ago with a player who is related to an NBA player, and who now is a star at a major DI school.
I called him for a carry on his favorite move (believe me, it's a major carry) and before he gave me the ball he said, "Don't you know who I am?"
I said, "Yeah, you're the kid who just got called for a carry and will get a technical if he doesn't close his mouth and hand me the ball." He stared for just a split second wide-eyed, but that was the last problem I ever had with him, and I had him in two more games that season.
As to the howler monkey comment posted in this thread by BktBallRef of "How many steps does he get?", I usually give them a Davism right back of "as many as he wants until he violates."
