IF you are going to talk to a coach about it, don't use the "or else it will be an automatic T." You've just put yourself into a box that you can't get out of.

IF you are going to talk to him, make it a friendly warning, "Coach, I've noticed some of your players starting to show some frustration. Could you mention it please? I just don't want it to get to a point where I have to make a decision."

I like the "make a decision line" because it puts the onus back on you rather than shifting the responsibility to him.

Perfect. KBilla is correct, too, it can go either way. But when you are at the point where a T is looming, do you have a lot to lose? I also agree with JR. Tough to pass on a ball spike. Even I would not. OK, JR, hope you were sitting down when you read that.
