Point guard is dribbling ball and then turns and taunts a player with about two seconds left, in a five-six point ball game. Then there was some commotion after that with both teams wanting to go at each other. The lesson I learned is that even though the tournament was basically over and the time was running out. We should have whacked him, and tossed him, although it would not have made any difference in the game, time would have stopped, the teams woulds have been separated while we shot the T's and who knows the team may have made a stupid mistake and picked up another T and then had the ball inbounds and would have won. Moral of the story you cant just let the unsportsmanlike conduct go to get the game over with two seconds left on the clock.

This is so true. Too many or us (myself included) figure the game is over and relax. we aren't prepared to handle things when we let our guard down. Thanks for the reminder.
