Flagrant T or just a T?

[refman1964]

Just the T seems apropriate. If he had gotten vuglar or talked about my mother then maybe think about makin it flagrant

Does that rhyme with "juggler"?

Assuming the game was being played under Fed rules, what do you buy yourself by calling a "Flagrant T"?

He's going to the bench area either way for the rest of the game. Most of the people in the gym aren't going to understand the difference so I would say why confuse the issue.

The only way I might give a Flagrant in this sitch is if he dropped an "F-bomb" in his statement and I knew that the league suspends players who are ejected.

You assume that the coach is going to bench him for the rest of the game if you just give him a "T"? I wouldn't be so quick to assume that, its funny how coaches tend to forget the "little things" that their kids do when it comes down to the end of the game and they need them in there...I would probably give him just a T anyway though...

Nevermind, just read that it was his 5th foul, so you are correct...what's the difference?

While I agree that it's a standard T, I disagree with this entire post.

1. Who cares what you "buy yourself" with a Flagrant T? If the conduct earns a flagrant T, give the flagrant T; even if it would be his 5th personal.

2. Who cares what the rest of the gym knows?

3. Who cares what the league policy is? Kid drops an F-bomb directed at me, it's flagrant regardless of whether the league suspends for it.

Yah I agree with Biz, if says something to you that is referred to you our your partner that involves vulgar/flagrant language, like calling you a god darn Mother *(&*(*(*. Then by all means toss him. A direct technical foul is fine in your scenario. Since it's 8th grade take him to the coach and treat him like a baby to let him know you are serious. Hey coach no 10 here needs a timeout since he his being disrespectful. I don't know where he got it from, but I know you are good coach and don't teach your players to disrespect adults/officials.

Chocolate, vanilla or whatever I would have ejected the little sh1t.
