Boys freshman game tonight out of league versus the local reform school (no kidding). After a foul and everyone is lined up one kid from the reform school says to one of his teammates "If we get fouled again I'm comin out swingin". He said this loud enough for me to hear at which point I get in his face and tell him if anything even remotely happens like that that he will be gone without hesitation. He would not look at me and acted like he was not hearing what I was saying.
My question here is should I have issued a T upon hearing the comment or did I handle it appropriately? The comment was made to his teammate and not an opposing player (not that that should matter). How have others handled similar frustration based comments?
This was a real close game with the reformers winning by one on a last minute shot and the playing had been pretty clean for freshman so I am not really sure where his comments were coming from anyway.
