Whack!
Only thing I would change is to make the kid (not an opponent or teammate) get the ball and then I would whack him.
I did what Stripes suggested, and made the kid, [8th grader] go retrieve the ball, and the coach went ballistic over me making him go get it. Coach ended up earning a T as well, Coach more than deserved it. [/B][/QUOTE]

I have had coaches get upset at me making a kid get the ball, but I always tell them that if he's big enough to throw it away, he's big enough to get it and there's still a penalty for throwing it away from me. This conversation is ALWAYS done as calmly and as matter-of-factly as possible. The kid did something and there is a repercussion. Period.
