If you go with the mantra "just let them be emotional," you're asking for trouble, IMO. Leave the emotions for the fans; there's a higher standard for those in the game.
If interscholastic sports are supposed to teach life skills, remaining calm under pressure is an important one, because that skill is a requirement in the real world. I say it every game: Questioning is fine, so long as its done civilly.
