On the serious side I understand what your getting at, really. However, stopping the game until the behavior stops? Some rivalry games will be a lesson in attrition. If they want to police there kids and set a example for others while the game continues, great! In life someone is always trying to knock you down with there words and actions. A lesson in thick skin and striving through adversity isn't so bad for a high school basketball player. Or anyone for that matter.
