I found myself last nite's game being drawn into the trap of getting snippy with the players and ultimately getting confrontational. (Verbally...) I sometime feel that my game management/preventive ofc. is taking a dive because of games that have 7&8 Technicals.

Any advice (ie. pregame, captain's brief or otherwise) for the "Bad News Bunch" that just won't quit???
Mr.E,
Keep "Banging" them, and encourage your colleagues to keep "Banging", until it goes away.
Smart players will adjust; others will be sitting and watching.
I have a friend that played in the University league (Cranbrook, maybe?) a couple years ago after playing here in Michigan for 8 years. He said that rudness is rampant on the floor, and the only hoops the players use as a guide is from information gleaned from the NBA, and that any floor decorum is no more than a wish.
The UK game will probably mature.

Be fair. Be consistent. Good luck.
