I have a few lines where I make it clear to a player or sometimes a coach, "You do realize this is not the NBA?" Many times that stops all comments or gyrations towards me or my partners. Actually I think most of this is not about pro sports, but it is about adults not setting boundaries with the children (which they are until they can go fight in a war in our military).
