I don't mind talking young players through some things. Explaining why I had to call that violation, for example. But varsity players are not young, in basketball terms. I don't think you need to be explaining basic things to varsity players.

A1 puts in a lay-up and then points her finger in B1's face and says something. Should I have called a T for taunting?

Yes, absolutely, without question, definitely T that crap, regardless of score, time, game situation or level of the game.

I was thinking that I should have called it since she may do it again in another game

Irrelevant. T it because it's taunting. If that doesn't earn a T, I don't know what does. JMHO, of course.
