Player ignores ref

Footlocker, you asked how to handle it differently. Besides a T, I don't see any tools available for you, and I definitely think that's over and beyond reasonable (as you apparently do as well). I think you handled it well.

Yeah, thanks. I did nothing because I felt that anything I would have done would only draw more attention to me than the player and his attitude. Unwanted attention at that. My choosing to get on with the game without doing something seemed to condone it and, I didn't want any further problems because I just allowed the kid to disrespect me.

The lesson here is clear. Get the ball in play and no questions unless absolutely necessary.
