Did a game last night.VG -

Background - Visting team is a train wreck. Perennial local powerhouse that is just having a year where they've fallen off the map. Talent isnt' there, coaching is sub par, its a train wreck. Complicated by the fact they are in a game where H is unusually strong and H is dominating. Up 30 at half. Vteam/coaches has always had rep for being whinny, argumentative anyway but now they are just a mess.

Coach gets a T early in the second quarter just for accumulation of BS. Seems like every call against his kids or no call we are getting wrong. Talked to, warned, stop signed- well deserved T. Claps once walks away, didn't actually say anything else the rest of the night. But now everyone else is in on it.

Kids are arguing calls, bench is complaining. Before the end of the 2nd quarter we've given an indirect to the bench and T'd up 1 player on the floor.

So coming into the 2nd half we know whats been going on and hope V just lets it go and finishes the game but if not we have to take care of buisness.

They come out coach is again not saying a word, but same stuff happens from kids. We T up a player early in the 3rd, coach sends a sub to the table for her. Even after tech and with coach telling her to not worry about it she continues to talk on the way to the bench, as she's subbed out. Partner gives her another one. At this point she has been subbed out. 2nd indirect to coach plus original T. Coach is gone (though he's been the most reasonable - not difficult though since his T). Assitant coach is now irate. She gets T'd too. Eventually they call timeout. Kids who have been T'd sit rest of the game. Assistant now running the show just empties bench and lets it end. H team wins by close to 40. No more incidents.

My question isnt' so much about how we handled things though if we got something wrong let me know.

More in the case of the player being T'd and then subbed out by her coach in general. Shes out of control coach is trying to get her off the floor and deal with it. If it continues and you have to T her again would you try to get it on her before she leaves the floor, or just live with the fact that shes going out the game and if it doesn't stop it will become a bench T.
