Flopping T

[hbioteach]

Middle school Boys. I'm the T. A1 with the ball comes close to b1 just short of contact. B1 flops like he's been hit by a train. T on b1. Coach of B argues about how I shouldn't call that in a middle school game. i tell him that there was no contact and we play on from there. No more trouble. In less blatent situations, I have warned the player and the coach about not flopping. This situation was just so blatent I had to call it. What do you think? Warning ot T?

How often do they listen to warnings in MS?

Give them the T, now they won't do it again, at least for that game.
