I had a report from one player that an opponent was calling them names. I hadn't heard anything but given the situation, it wouldn't have surprised me. I appealed to the coach to talk to the player but they weren't having any of it. They figured I was full of it and out to get them. The opposing coach wasn't pleased, and I didn't blame them, but I don't know what else to do when a coach won't work with you on a sportsmanship issue. The game wasn't really close but I still put the screws to the teams for a few minutes when it came to calling fouls. I don't see those coaches exchanging Christmas cards this year.
