"Shoot The Ball!!" Taunting?

At a break in the action, I walked up to him and said basically, "I don't have a problem with you saying 'shoot the ball', but I think you are approaching taunting behavior." He gave me a 'what me look?!' and asked what I meant. I said, "I think you know what I mean. No taunting." He gave me a nod and I said, "Thanks."

davidw,
An intense ballplayer will often have a "scowl" on his face.

You are much more sensitive than I.

IMO, your explanation was quite weak for a high school to understand, but then, so was your stance.
