I'd probably mention that if he wants to stay in the game to get his shirt tucked in and keep it in. Otherwise, I'm not stirring the pot. My initial reaction when I read this post (and I have never seen this on the court) was that of shame. You know, like the ostrich head in the sand thing.
BTW, I have been coaching soccer for 10 years, I have never seen a player carded or even talked to by an official for pulling the shirt over the head in celebration of a goal. This type of celebration is not all that uncommon in the sport of soccer. I saw it happen this weekend as a matter of fact.

Footlocker, it happened to a star varsity player in the Baltimore area. Do you think I make these things up? Footlocker, what level have you coached soccer at?
As far as the T is concerned, I had a player react to a foul I called on him by pulling his shirt from his waiste clear up to his face and making an unintelligible grunting sound proceded by a very unfriendly staring. I gave him a T. End of story. Maybe your sitchs have been different but that is what I thought the thread was talking about.
