This was definitely for line violations. I was sitting right next to the field waiting for our next match.

I just felt really bad for him, since he obviously wasn't taught how to inbound the ball effectively, nor was he paying any attention to the line.

The ref behind him would hold his hand up in the air everytime he crossed the line and the ref at the penalty station would input the foul...but never was there an indication to the student or the alliance that multiple fouls were occurring.

I agree with Richard that the responsibility is 100% on the coach to teach and correct this type of behavior, but in this instance I don't think anyone on that side of the glass knew fouls were occurring.

Just seems like a flag should be raised and pointed at the offending human player or something, so we (drive team and coaches) know what's going on during the match.
