No.

It just means that the coach has not yet put enough straws on the camel's back.

If you whacked this coach in the first half, you'd post "the coach complained about 3 seconds so I whacked him; he had been complaining the entire first quarter" and someone here would say, "you should have whacked him in hte first quarter." etc.

My point being, if the coach had been dealt with earlier, then his 3 point "antic" near the end of the game probably never would have happened. But if we choose to allow the whining to go on all game to the point that "we've had enough of his BS" then we've left the door open for this kind of nonsense.

I agree with the idea that if you've allowed it to continue to this point, calling a T here is probably not the best option.

OTOH, if he had been a peach all game, started whining with 2 minutes in the 4th (not uncommon), and you had already warned him immediately prior to this scenario, it might be warranted.

Stiffler:

I do not care if he had or had not been whinning all game long (and if he had you probably should have taken business by now already) but:

WHACK!!

He did this to show you up.

I would not whack him but I would have some words with him in a one-way conversation and I would not have minced any words with him.

At first I thought this was the little game on the "Highly Questionable Show" called "Si or no."

My bad.

Honestly this is a HTBT situation. I can imagine this going on with not a lot of loudness and I can imagine the coach going off. For me it would depend on how loud the coach was and what had they done previously. If it was not a T, then it certainly would be something I would probably address before or after that timeout was over. Experience is what will tell you how bad this situation is and how it should be addressed. And honestly only you will know what a line is crossed, because your line is not everyone else's line.

Peace

I'm with JRut. Only from being there can you understand the context as to whether the question was indeed inciting the crowd.
