I get trying to make a point ... but intentionally calling the game poorly is not going to go well for you in the future. You should call all games fairly, as if you were being evaluated from the stands, regardless of what kid annoys you with habits like this.

I can see the evaluation afterward. "John, by my count you missed at least 15 shooting fouls, all against one team. They lost by 6. If they make half the free throws you took away from them, they win. Are you biased against that team for some reason?" "But sir, ... he said, 'And one' and it annoyed me, so I cheated against him". Which then leads to a future of 8th grade C games the rest of your career.
