Since this is one of your favorite posts and because I am tired of hearing about and writing about SA's, I thought I would pitch out this new one for you...
Scenario:
Women's ITA dual match. In her doubles match, when player A calls a serve out she then blasts the ball at the net woman and tries to hit her. Whenever her opponent returns a long serve (after calling it out) she then blasts the return at the net woman even though the ball has been called out.
What would you do????

I would immediately get on my cell phone and call Jane Goodman to ask her advice.
I would caution the player not to do that again, and when she does, access a code violation for unsporstmanship conduct. There should be no further discussion.
One warning then code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Code Violation, no warning in ITA.
Again, like so many scenarios, this is a judgment call. There are warnings in ITA. i.e. player yells out in a foreign language, he is warned to not do that again, unless the chair understands the language.
Common sense wouild say that you warn the player to not be hitting the ball toward the opponent then code if it happens again.
