2. Players are geared up and are demonstrative but not to the point of taunting. One player says something that could be problematic and we talk to him or her quietly, maybe while lining up for a free throw or administering a throw in.

3. Player control foul at one end, a 50/50 play at the other end get a PC. Same with three second calls.

4. Cutting it close on the second horn of a timeout, adressing it as soon as possible in the game as opposed thumping 'em with a RoP in the fourth quarter.

That kind of stuff?
1. I don't respond to chirping unless it's too continuous. If it's chirping, if anything, he just gets a head shake letting him know that I hear him but disagree. If it's questions, I'll address him briefly with a "what did you see?" or an explanation of what I saw.

2. Yes. You can also talk to the captains or the coach.

3. Yes with PC, but some will disagree with the statement because it might lead to some incorrect calls in the name of "consistency."

4. I find if I get into the huddle on the first horn they're more likely to come out by the second. As long as they're moving out at the second horn, I don't have a problem.
