Not acting can at times have adverse consequences as well. The rest of the team might begin losing respect for you as coach and player relations may suffer as well. That can impact how your team performs. And if the relationship with the coach goes down enough, players may transfer.
While there is the greatest number of team incidents during the training period, individual player interactions occur throughout the year and those can affect not only the players involved but also the rest of the team.
How you as Head Coach handle these situations probably should reflect what you've set as your discipline level. Low discipline coaches probably let things go more whereas high discipline coaches get after guys more. Also, how you respond depends on who you recruit. I think if you recruit guys who are very interested in discipline and then they find that the coach never does anything to handle situations that arise, their relationship with the coach is likely to decline and the possibility of their transferring increases.
