warning or whack?

Sounds like you might have let play get a little out of hand. Up to that point were you calling any blocks or charges on the teams. If you were just letting them play then maybe HC was getting frustrated that his team wasn't scoring on all of those shots taken. For 8th graders, I'd pull them aside and calm them down, once I saw too much contact. It works!! Remember, these coaches for the most part don't really have a full grasp on the game.
