Point here is that we avoided confronting the coaches first, had our little pep talk not worked, then we go to coaches. This is a good example in controlling play before it gets out of hand.

We did the same thing yesterday. Boys prep school varsity. A1 fouls B1, causing both to fall to the floor. A1 throws ball at B1. B1 is held back by a teammate. Common foul and technical foul on A1, tough call, but we decided not flagrant. After the technical fouls shots, ball is put back into play. My partner and I note that the players are getting a little rough, so we pretty much did what rngrck did. It worked. No more problems for the rest of the game.
