This is one of the times where I hope the T should've had game awareness of what was happening and addressed it ASAP. The player's actions erupt in a matter of seconds but perhaps a quick T on #52 could've stopped it initially.
Thoughts?

This is a point that Coach Cronin made in his postgame press conference. It appears there was plenty of chirping going on most of the game. Perhaps the crew could have been more aggressive in warning and whacking the talking earlier in the game. Even IF that is true, that is still no excuse to clear the benches and duke it out (a point Coach Cronin made clear in his press conference).
