OH MY GOD!!!! I'm not asking you to go back to 1960 something!! Geeze, I'm speaking about right now, if this happened what would you do? I never once said let's travel back in time to the year "My Girl" went #1, I said if this happened to you sometime. Like maybe tonight! Are you in politics? You can find more ways to skirt around things than anyone I've ever been in contact with. But, I got love for ya, cuz at least you think of all angles, so you get props for that much!

If you think it's "taunting", deal with it. That might include a T, it might include movign the team before the other huddle breaks up, it might include talking to the team, it might include standing between the teams, ...

Actually, I wouldn't ever tell a player he had to trim his nails. I might tell his coach that a player can't play until he does, though.

And Bob, I would personally be careful stepping between two teams. But you have a lot more experience than I do. It just goes against everything I was taught dealing with teenagers in a tense situation.

It would not have gotten to that point. Ts in my opinion are last resorts. I do not know how a player that is supposed to be on their end of the court would all of a sudden be in front of the other bench during a timeout without me or another partner (that knows what the hell they are doing) addressing that issue. It is clear you are single minded on this issue and you are not looking at the bigger picture. This is why you have had a couple of people mock your question already. At least I was trying to direct you to a reasonable conclusion.
