I agree. If you give the "next time" warning, you gotta follow through.

13U AAU Regional (qualifier for Nationals). These girls play 80 games a year of up tempo ball. I don't know that there was intent to delay, but at this age and skill level, that is really kind of irrelevant. No "next time" warning required - you blow the whistle, it needs to be an official warning and next one needs to be a T, especially in a tourney that counts for going to Nationals (good thing we won anyway!).
Three years ago (coaching the same team I have now as 10Us) I had a player disqualified for violating the boundary plane on 3 different occasions during one game, and it wasn't even a game that counted for anything. Warning, T, T, see ya. That's the rules.
