Directing Player to Leave Game

Would it REALLY have improved things if I would have T'd her, or ejected her with a flagrant technical? I mean, nobody was hurt, she didn't do it with enough force to hurt anybody (although it was an elbow, granted) - I just advised the coach to let her sit out for the rest of the half and cool off, and avoided a ten-minute drama spiel. It was better for the game.

Two observations.
First, with this being a scrim of 6-8 year olds I have no problem with the way you handled the situation. It was the best way and as you say, it was better for the game.
Second, if this had been a HS varsity game there is a different level of play and ability. That player just earned a T at the least or an ejection depending on variables.
