So this was brought up and a hypothetical spin was put on the situation. Player B3 runs by player A1 and A1 stick his foot out to try and trip B3 but missed. Similar situation trying to trip a player but no conduct. Player does it again, and again do we have to wait until he hurts someone to enforce a penalty?

My feeling is we need to address the player with an unsporting T, but at the same time need to make sure the rules support the ruling.
