Somehow. "These refs SUCK!!" doesn't fall into that same category for me.

I would have walked over to their coach and warned him about the verbal abuse right there and then. If he didn't address it with his players or if I heard it again, wham!!

Would everyone here just go to the coach and or table for this or would you use your whistle and draw immediate attention to the conduct?

It depends really, I am not certain I would T this acctually, it depends
If he turnded to his team-mate and said it I wouldn't bother, if he said it so loud the entire gym heard I would T him though...
And I would use the whistle, mostly so that everybody realises what just happened
Had the guy said it quitely I would do like rngrck, talk to the coach and let him know that isn't ok and to tell his players they would get a T if we heard it again
But then again, it depends on how you say it...

To answer your question. In this situation, I would use the whistle to draw attention to the conduct.


Now if it was a situation where there was a dunk during pre-game. I would calmly notify the coach and table of the technical.

Advise.

I think I would treat this the same as a pre-game dunk. We've always been taught not to sound the whistle. Just inform the table and coaches. I would think that I would do the same in this situation, unless somebody can offer a good reason for blowing the whistle.

Sound the whistle, give the sign

I will tell you why I think that a whistle would be appropriate in this circumstance.

Last week, I attended a game as a spectator in which there was a pregame dunk. I was not in the game when the dunk occurred, but after a phone call just now to the calling official, he did not sound his whistle or make any indication of what had happened. He did immediately walk over to the player of the coach though and informed him. I came in with about 7 minutes on the clock before the game started.

After the teams were introduced, the calling official stepped into the reporting area, sounded his whistle, indicated the team, number and gave the T signal, and then said "Dunking before the game" along with a nice 2 handed rim grasp motion. I wish I had had my video camera running from right behind the table for this one.

Anyhoww, as they went and shot the FTs, I heard 2 different conversations around me of people asking why the visitors were starting with 2 FTs and the ball.

While everyone in the gym at the start of the game may not have been in the gym when the dunk happened, I don't think it hurts to sound your whistle when something does happen during warm-ups that warrants a technical, and give the T signal. That way, when you do start the game with FTs, at least the people who were in the gym when the incident occured may have some idea as to why.

If we want all the people in the gym to always know what and why we do certain things all games would last hours for all the stops and powerpoint presentations we would have to do on the court.

Powerpoint? Hmmm, now there's a useful addition to my gear bag!

They didn't have a public address announcer?

Yeah, but it was Dick Vitale, and all he said was, "Steps, Baby!"
