I just think we allow certain behavior to continue all game then T something we should have addressed much earlier. Not to say that always works, but at least the coach knows the line. Then when you stick them, they cannot say you did not give them some warning or understanding of their behavior.

I agree that it needs to be addressed when it happens and not fester for much of the game and then happen late when it should have been taken care of early...I think this was early 2nd quarter and the first time he was excited....Again, I'm not concerned that the "T" was warranted or not...it was whether or not it was:

1. avoidable
2. my fault for "leading" him with the "relax" comment....if I had a do-over it I would have gave him a definite stop sign....then if he wants the last word, fine...easy for me..

So far it's the only "T" on the year....and the only one that was even close and I'm 42 dates into a 60 date schedule....We all know what Feb is like though
