This is the salient point, IMO. I did the former last year, my first year in this league. They walked all over me last year. I tried to get it under control late in the season, but that certainly didn’t work.
This year, I decided to nip it in the bud early...meaning my first game. I’ve given 7 technical fouls in 12 games so far this year. And I really do think they’ll start going down as the season goes along. If not, no sweat. I have no problem handing them out all day long until the players learn I’m not putting up with their crap.
