We know they aren't and that sometimes creates the problems for these types of games.

Boiler, it's not a matter of any official being hard-azzed or anything like that. The point that some of us are trying to get across is simply trying to explain what a warning, any warning, actually
is. You tell somebody that what they are doing will not be tolerated. You then explain what the consequences will be if they fail to listen to that warning. Now, if you fail to follow up with the consequences, then there was no use at all in issuing that warning in the first place. Nobody is looking for or wants to get into a coach/official confrontation. If you do get into one though, it should be handled quickly and decisively.
Just wanted to make that clear. Summer or rec league ball is no different imo when it comes to having to keep the games under control.
It's like telling your 2-year old "I really, really mean it this time". They know when you're not serious.
