The Primal Scream
Boys pre-season game last night. B1 completes a nice dunk..there's one team A body on the floor from incidental contact...B1 lands, bows up his chest as opponent is coming off the floor and lets out a primal scream that lasted about 3 seconds. I whack him with a T for unsportsmanlike/taunting. I thought he held the high note a little longer than he needed to and was trying to intimidate team A.
Checked with my partners for their opinion at the half and they said they would have just warned him or ignored it because team B was losing by about 12 points. My question: What does everyone use as a standard of tolerance for the "primal scream"? Seems like I've been hearing it more the last couple seasons after a hard dunk.

Everybody has their own trigger on these things.
That said, I certainly would not have been 'reffing the scoreboard' in the first half and especally not on the play you described. Not the best advice you could have gotten IMO. Sounds like a good T.

I actually (cough, cough, choke, gag) agree with Dan.
 There are some things that might be over-looked in the closing seconds of a blow-out game, but in the first half??? And certainly not something which falls under taunting - that kind of crap will only lead to more problems down the road.

Is it too late for me to change my vote?

I don't care when in the game this bozo from Team B does a bow and primal scream after a dunk, he is getting WHACKED!!

I don't care when it happens or what the score is - if taunting occurs, I T it up every time.
