It doesn't explicitly say so but it is the assumed conclusion from being directed to do so.

I'm pretty sure that if you T a kid (or send him to the bench) in a hs game for not tucking in his jersey in my hs assn, that might be the last time you work any games.

Hence my comment that this incident was likely not the first time the jersey was untucked. If he had been sent to the bench earlier in the game, then he likely would not have found himself in that situation. No kid likes to be subbed for. And no coach likes to have to sub for him. It usually only takes one time per team for them to get the picture.

I am sorry to hear that your association consists of a bunch of wimps that are afraid to enforce the rules.

All I mean is the kid better have told that he's not tucking in his unifrom after u have asked him to before u send him out. And he better say some T worthy stuff loud enough for all to hear before you T him.

T worthy here is "no" after being directed to tuck. I have only sent one player to the bench for this, and I had no trouble with him the rest of that or the next game.

I will add, though, that if I decide to draw this line, it's not going to be the first time I've dealt with that kid that game, and again, the coach will be informed of the ramifications of continued beligerence from his player. But once the line is drawn, you have to have some spine.

Sounds to me that you worry way too much about what others are going to think about you handling what needs to be handled.

If a kid is instructed to do something and refuses to do it, that alone is enough to justify a technical foul by rule. Whether that's the way you want to handle it is up to you, of course, but it's not something I'd lose sleep over.

I didn't read every post closely, but I have a question for those that aren't going to give the kid a T. Actually two questions.

1. What rule are you using to clear the lane when the kid shoots? Sorry if I am not reading this correctly (I'm tired right now), but I think I am understanding this correctly.
2. What would you do if the kid finished shooting, tucked in his shirt and both the player and coach made a huge fuss saying he/she shouldn't come out of the game? It could eventually result in a T.

1. 3.3.5 Situation A tells you to clear the lane.
2. Too late...explain to coach why he's coming out (his player didn't listen the first time), tell the coach he has 20 seconds and go from there.
