I think the NBA has done a good job with this aspect of the game with it's new "respect for the game" points of emphasis. I have noticed in some of the college games I've watched that there hasn't been much of a trickle down, and the same in HS (though less of a problem at the HS level) featuring the top players. The NBA will T players for acting out, like screaming at opponents, gesturing to the crowd and popping their collars up and down the court, and I'm not seeing a lot of the same stuff being called at lower levels. I think it would be a good thing, particularly the way the game is going, for that to be tightened up in HS and college.
