Sprinkles

Inner city team A playing inner city rival team B to open the season at A's gym. About 100 or so people in the gym, the "diversity mixture" is as might be expected. I and a player from B are like 2 vanilla sprinkles floating in a chocolate/mocha milk shake. No big deal. Until my partner calls a foul on my fellow sprinkle about mid way through the first half. As we line up to shoot FTs the young sprinkle walks by me and comments "I know *you* wouldn't have called that foul on me."

What would *you* do?

My first inclination would be to "T" up the little sh*t. He's directly questioning your partner(s) integrity imo with that inference. Personally, I usually don't bother warning for that crap either. One way or another, I think that you have to impress on him that the only colors that the officials are looking for out there are the colors of the shirts.

You can't change his beliefs. You can control the way that he expresses them though.
