I'll finally get in here with my $.02, not that too many people care. I think the stop sign has a time and place where it is useful. I agree that too often coaches think that they get a warning before a T. This is not always the case. I was taught to use the stop sign loud and proud. We were told that if a coach was getting out of line to take a step back, put up the hand and firmly say, "that's enough coach". The guy that taught me likes this because it is a good, firm visual statement that the coach has said too much. Then people know the T is coming. I've used the stop sign on occasion, and there are many occasions where it isn't helpful. As with much of what we do there are no absolutes. If you feel it will work for you to help you out of a situation, go ahead and use it. Just never give more than one stop sign (oops, I guess I'm giving an absolute that I just said doesn't exsist in what we do).
