The Player should be put in Time-Out so-to-speak.

Used the new Connecticut Technical Sit A Tick Policy for the first time yesterday.

This kid got an oral warning from me before I later served him some tea.

Later discovered that my partner had also orally warned him.

Coach kept the kid out longer than the next whistle.

No problem after that.

First technical on a player in a few years (not proud, just a fact).

No profanity, kid just "pissed me off".

10-4-6-A: Commit an unsporting foul. This includes, but is not limited to, acts or conduct such as: Disrespectfully addressing or contacting an official or gesturing in such a manner as to indicate resentment.
