However, if in your pregame you have asked the coaches and players "Can we expect that you and your players will exhibit proper sporting behavior throughout the game?" then you have every right to use the technical foul. When the coach wants to know why calmly explain they failed to exhibit proper sporting behavior.

You use the T regardless of your pregame. Proper sporting behavior is to be expected as soon as they hit the gym, not something you have to remind them of like 4 year olds.

However, IMO the "T" should be used only when warranted. Preventative officiating goes a long way in controlling a game and earnig respect. Sometimes the player or coaches take it too far and we "whack" them.

It is what it is!!

Nope, not at St. Charles. I have done many games there over the years, but this game was, indeed, somewhere else.
