This type of foul will result in immediate disqualification of the offending player for the remainder of the game and the next scheduled league/playoff game.
B. VERBAL OR BEHAVIORAL- Where a player or coach verbally abuses or taunts an opposing player, coach, official, or spectator.
Behavioral foul examples include: slamming the ball into the floor or kicking it in frustration after a play, kicking chairs or other items along the bench, or fighting.
