Jeff Hallman, varsity basketball coach at Saugus High, thinks the new policy is good for Santa Clarita's increasingly competitive high school sporting events. ``In our valley all our games bring together crosstown rivals,'' he said. After coaching for 20 years, Hallman wouldn't call the taunting of teams a new phenomenon, but he has noticed a significant increase as of late. Hallman recalled one game in which fans got a hold of an opposing team's warm-up jacket and ripped it to pieces during a game. ``That is just inappropriate,'' Hallman said. ``High school competition is about using sports as a way to teach life lessons.''
