I happen to agree with him. Usually a player that is complaining is not learning from what you are telling them. I will just keep calling fouls and not give them any benefit of the doubt. They will eventually be out of the game by either too many fouls or their coach will realize they are not listening. I do not make up the first foul, I call what I see and usually try not to call a really silly foul.

Peace
