I can see using your judgment as to whether to issue a "T" or not for a player bouncing the ball hard, depending on who he's frustrated at and the game circumstances. Kicking the ball into the stands though is always an an automatic "T" to me. But hey, that's just me.
If you think kicking the ball in the stands is the same as bouncing a ball (where there is no directive in writing for that standard BTW) than that is fine. I am just telling you what I am going to do and not going to do. Just like kid that threw the ball in the stand in the Big East game, there is no directive to penalize that specifically. So you have to use your judgment like we do all the time for these things. I am going to worry about the things that will likely happen, not things that I read about on a board and never see in a real game.

Peace
