For 8th graders, I'd pull them aside and calm them down, once I saw too much contact. It works!! Remember, these coaches for the most part don't really have a full grasp on the game.

1. I have zero issues with the T the way you explained it.
2. I have no problems with your conversation with the coach, if you can get that in and still officiate - - - - fine.
3. In no way was the play out of hand as "rngrck" has insinuated. There is and always will be contact in basketball that doesn't warrant a foul. BLOCKS and CHARGES...I didn't understand that comment at all and "pull them aside". Don't go there! Keep up the good work and I have come to the conclusion that I won't be taking all advice on this DB to heart because there is some that doesn't make a lot of sense.
