And in either case, it has nothing to do with a close late game. The perfect time for an idiot coach and his idiot players to learn to control their pie holes is during "meaningless" summer games.

I can't say that I don't disagree with you at all. But, I am not automatically going to default to a technical foul just because it is a "summer" game. I feel that you can also use "summer" games to "strongly educate" coaches and players.

That's a nice theory, but there's a huge difference in the demeanor and professionalism between a high school coach, whose job is at stake, and an AAU/Select coach, who essentially is the boss of his own empire. It's often a futile effort to attempt to educate an AAU coach.

You are 100% correct.

Had you and your partner discussed this kids behavior. What kinds of things had he been saying to you both the entire game. I dont have as much experience but normally a kid who behaviors like that at the end of a game is a problem every game and has a big mouth every game. The coach knows it and either takes care of it or lets him loose. I have given him his one warning by this time. If he goes off after that warning I think he should get a T. If his last foul was wimpy then I might give him a little more room. I would love to hear anything that was discussed or heard from this kid up to this point.
