I think I'll use red and yellow cards this year. Last year I had a coach come stomping out on the court yelling at me to not correct "his kids", if i have a problem talk to him . problem is ,we cant give any t's in the church league ! red card would be almost as good of a message to coaches . lol

Thats tough, you cant issue Ts in the church league, BUT the coaches are allowed to "stomp out on the court."

I'm w/Snaq! All money aint good money.

How do you take care of unsportsmanlike conduct? Sounds like your league is giving coaches carte blanche to question officials left and right.

ain't no message like losing the coaching box, two free throws for the other team, and finding oneself halfway towards being ejected.

I dunno. If the church league replaced the T with something comparably bad -- maybe 2 minutes of demonic possession? -- that might work.
