Question about bringing the elbow around

[Ray_from_Mi]

Fielder's choice. The raised elbow is certainly confrontational, the very least, taunting. Did it happen in the low post or out where many could see the action? You could have issued a 'T' and gotten support for it. If there was nothing after that moment for the rest of the game, then you dodged the bullet. If something were to happen with that player and another, you can bet the opposing coach would have asked why you didn't pull the trigger on this guy when you should have. Maybe somewhere in-between, take him over to the coach and encourage the coach to have a moment with the player about the ethics of sportsmanship. Coach, I need a sub now. then everyone sees you have attempted to solve the problem w/o having to go to 'level 5' to do it.
