It's not you GIVING him a "T" which changes the game - it's him EARNING the "T" which changes the game.

I agree with kgruber, if called right, it's not a suprise to him or anyone in the gym. Give him an obvious stop sign and move on, if he runs thru it...whack. If parents from his team think he was inappropriate, they'll deal with him.
