BS.

"In my opinion this procedure screws the team which does not receive such a warning during the game. If the opponent was behaving in an unsporting manner, then it should be penalized as called for in the rules."

That's exactly what NevadaRef said.

Sorry, I tend to forget his posts shortly after reading them; this was no exception. Looks like I need to be more careful when making categorical statements about threads in which Nevada has participated.

Where did I leave those two words I'm looking for?

After E and T.

I have tried to look at the stop sign from the perspective of the recipient. This includes using it at home. If you have a point to make and to me it sounds imagined or ridiculous (or whatever) and I give you the stop sign or simply dismiss your point. What is your response? Most would only become more upset for not allowing you to express your point of view or concern.

A simple acknowledgement can be much moer effective than a stop sign. A signal that basically says "shut up, don't talk back to me."

If it becomes bad enough, give them their warning, everyone will understand that as well.

After all my debating on this topic, I actually used it tonight; on a player.

I'll still never use it on a coach again, but I thought of this thread immediately after using it on the player.

I don't use it anymore, but that is what happens after 27 years of marriage.
