I agree with 37P6 - Meisner was aggressive but that's good basketball. The ref asked him - and it seemed politely as the ref was laughing - to not go over the sideline stripe. Meisner backed up so he wasn't hugging the line. If there was taunting then I missed it.
Donahue used it as an opportunity to work the refs. That's also good basketball and if Engles isn't doing enough of that then he should. I didn't think it impacted the next play though.
I recall Smith being too polite around the refs for his first couple of years until he had enough games coaching against the Hurleys to learn what to do.
