To tea or not to tea....

Last night-- coach demonstrating and complaining about a call (when she was up by 32 points). I told her to settle down, we're not going to do that tonight. She told me I was too sensitive. I put an official warning in the book and didn't hear anything else all night. Do you whack her? She also then told my partner I'm too sensitive.

I would've told her to look at the scoreboard and her reaction after that would determine my next move.

I have little tolerance for coaches who start acting up when their team is up by an insurmountable margin. A bench warning is certainly fair. I probably wouldn't have whacked her if she shut up but wouldn't really have a problem with a T in that situation. If I was your partner I also would've told her to look at the scoreboard.

Your partner should have whacked her since you had already issued a warning. I had a game last season where I warned a coach in the first half. In the 3rd quarter one of my partner had to engage the coach and was about to issue a warning when he looked at me and realized that HC had already been warned, so he whacked him.

I agree with you but I didn't want to tint any opinion in my favor. If a coach said that about my partner after JUST being warned, I'm whacking them. A much wiser man that myself said you promote what you permit, and I fully believe coaches act like this because they are allowed to by people who won't just TCOB when it's warranted.
