Had a middle school game this weekend, one team (say B) way behind (about 20 points). In the first half, every time A team would make a mistake, bad shot, whatever, the team B bench kids would do this little "ha, ha" routine. It was kind of a nasal, sneering tone of voice. If they had been twenty points up, I'd have T'd them for taunting. As it was I warned them first. Coach seemed kind of surprised that I even noticed, but didn't complain. They didn't do it anymore, and they lost by 45.

Does anyone disagree that taunting isn't restricted to the winning team? ( Ihope there are the right number of negatives in that question!)

Jewel,
I agree that taunting is taunting regardless of the score.
I also agree with your recognition and warning of the "lit fuse".
Good job.
