1) Can't <b>any or all player(s)</b> on the floor on either team, as well as <b>any</b> sub(s) coming in on either team, also make your game go south immediately by committing a stupid foul which could be intentional or flagrant or randomly piss off their opponents? If they do, then what's the difference with them to the "game interrupter" that you identify when subbing in?
2) Do you tell <b>all</b> players on both teams to "watch the fouls" or just the the players that you identify as "game interrupters"? What criteria do you use to identify these "game interrupters" when they enter a game? Appearance? Foaming at the mouth? Knuckles dragging on the floor?
3) If a coach asks you WTF you're doing warning one of his players <b>before</b> that player has done <b>anything</b> at all, what's your response to that coach?
4) Isn't it true that <b>every</b> time you blow your whistle for <b>any</b> foul or <b>any</b> violation, the player that committed that foul or violation is also a "game interrupter"? If you disagree, please explain how they differ.

The term he used is game disrupter, not interrupter.

A game disrupter is something that interrupts the normal flow of the game.

Soooooo.....I'll go back and edit my last post to change to "game disrupters" from game interrupters".

I'd still like answers to those questions though, just to clear up the confusion in my mind. Think you could help?

So we're talking about strategies to minimize the number of calls assignors take from incoherently screaming spittle spewing coaches who think they just got screwed.
