Sounds like your partner handled the way I would. I probably wouldn't of have a double here. Talk to them and tell them to knock it off. The player that blew your partner off I wouldn't have done anything there. However, that player just showed me he doesn't want to listen; therefore, I'm probably not going to talk to him any longer throughout the game. I'll just blow the whistle.

I agree. Though I won't be targeting the player, he has surrendered his benefit of a doubt card for the rest of the game.

Right. To be clear, I'm not going to target that player either.

Of course. I hope you didn't take it that I was saying that you would.

No, no Welpe... certainly not. Just thought I'd clarify before someone did... how I wrote it I suppose one could possibly think that. No worries.

There was really no need to talk to the players. Just go into the locker/dressing room and discuss the match up with partner(s). Kinda keep an eye of how competitive it is.

In a JV game this year my partner warned a player in the first half for his mouth after each time he committed a foul. In the 4th quarter he was called for a foul. During the timeout that followed the foul he began to mouth off to me. I warned him and he waved me off over his shoulder as he walked to his bench. That was enough for me after repeated warnings (one in the first half and one before I administered the Tech).

Needless to say, if you try to have a conference with them they probably will walk off. I would run over and sternly say "knock it off" or "calm it down" and then stay with them until they go their seperate ways.

As soon as they broke the huddle from the intermission I would have targeted his a$$ for a quick conversation.
