I have become very intolerant of player behavior that is unsporting. I possess no shyness about wacking the little rat*******s when they start with the complaining about calls. I usually give one loud verbal warning that is for all the players to hear and then its time to pull the trigger. We have some issues in athletics here in Northern Ohio with unsporting behavior too. And its not just basketball. A Varsity Football game was suspended and later declared a double forfeit because of a fight that started on the field between four players and expanded quickly throught the stadium. Pretty scary stuff for the officials.
