He keeps at it, so give him stop again, keeps it up, "whack" first one, maybe a little slow at giving him what he had earned, so now I put up stop and he keeps going, "don't put up your hand to me" stop sign again "don't put up your hand to me" so this time I tell coach you've had one and you're working on the second, "don't put up your hand to me" this time I whack him again, and tell him he's done for the day and needs to leave the gym.
Lah me......

"This time I really, really mean it".......

The idea of giving a warning is to let the coach know that enough is enough. A "stop" sign means STOP. It doesn't mean anything else but STOP. By my count, you had....oh......about five(5) too many warnings in the sequence above. Why would the coach listen to any of your warnings if he knows that you're not going to follow through? Of course, he ignored you.

Warn-----> whack!
