Kids seem to think thats what you're supposed to do when you box out.
Intermurals is filled with the idea of warnings. However, one immediate thing that does not get a warning is any cuss word directed at me or my partners. A cuss word for a missed shot or something like that will normally get a warning as well... but directed to me means T.
Just my humble thoughts

I know where you're coming from Bradford. Being an intramural official myself, I tend to give warnings to players about their language when its cussing to themsleves about missed shots etc, but when it's a loud F-Bomb or other cussing, or if they challenge the integrity of me or my partner, I whack them. Also, I'll give warnings along the lines of let us worry about reffing and you worry about playing. Plus if a team is getting blow out, I'll tend to just ignore most comments so the game will go on an end.

I primarily do HS games but I do my share of IMs too. I disagree with the philosophy of letting this BS go or warning the IM players because doing so simply makes things worse down the road. I don't care what level the game, players must demonstrate respect for my authority and for the game, otherwise they will be penalized. Letting griping go on only leads to more of it.
