Should have I pulled the trigger?

It is in 10-3-1 and 10-3-8.

Nope. In this case it would've been flagrant since it was V2's second T. However even if it was his first T for me it also would've been his last.

Terp, I agree with you here. This falls into "the less you say, the better" category. Saying nothing is probably the best thing since it won't elicit a response. Since I'm a "vet" (wow, I feel old) I might say "yep" and then move toward the table but I'm not getting into a back and forth with a teenager. It's probably the dad in me.

Of course, this doesn't excuse the kid giving the brush-off but it's a good point to mention to our young officiating friends.
