I would politely disagree.

I wouldn't give a baseball heave-ho signal. For one, I don't think it is in the book and two that might really blow the coach up.

You simply report your foul as flagrant (Intentional or T), then simply tell the book the player is disqualified from further competition. This way is "softer", and makes it sound more like the kid got his 5th. You have to inform the player and coach they are DQ'd. Then move on to administer the penalty.

I have found it is all in the wording, the less confrontational you are, the better it goes. Hopefully it was an obvious reason, and the coach usually will be more upset at the player than you.
