Had this not long ago...parent doing the book asked me "Who gets credit for the 2 pts?".

I was not sure so I just told her to give it to the offended player?

Since it's a "special" rule just for that tournament, tell her to credit the points to game management. Or you could give her the definitive answer - "Who cares?"

"Who cares?"

She cares! A1 is her 3rd grade son...and those extra points can pad his ppg average...thus, increasing his chance for a Full Ride Scholarship to Big Time U!

Good point. I hadn't thought of that.

That's because you're a heartless referee.

Why not give the 2 pts to the player that was taunted? It might make him feel better.
