I know , I know preventative officiating but is my thinking off in that I don't care if they act stupid-I address it according to the rulebook. Really if the coach doesn't know or can't see a player is out of control the next 3 quick tweets will help him come to that conclusion....

I like the nip in the bud and nip it early thinking....

I agree that you need to nip things in the bud early on, but I find that talking to players helps. Since the player did not make contact, I can't see calling a T here. I'd grab the player and tell them I understand why he's frustrated, no one likes to lose, but you can lose in a sportsmanlike manner. I'd probably try to use some humor and definitely go with a smile on my face at this point. It seems to work for me in most cases like this, but with management, what works for one doesn't always work for others.
