Since this was done absolutely to gain a huge advantage by giving his team time and actually checking to see the press was set up could have I skipped the warning and given him the T? I gave them the warning and he pulled the press. I also told my partner if they even looked at the ball wrong after they scored I wanted the second DOG that would give them the T. I know I should have called DOG when he caught it but I didn't.
Why escalate to a T, when the DOG warning works? Good game management says dont make it worse than it is....

That being said if the kid does something unsportsmanlike (like throws the ball into the 20th row) it is not delay of game-and I would whack him for USC conduct....
