It seems like this might be something that should have been addressed earlier in the game. I think 4-6 feet out on the court and one foot from half court is a little extreme. It makes me pause while typing this message so I can see how the situation would bring some doubt. However, I'm leaning towards blasting him.
I could be totally off base but the picture I'm painting in my mind is that of a rivalry game with the stands packed that is close. It can be an emotional situation and you may want to refrain from inserting yourself into the game too much. Although it might be hard-core at the time, we can't get caught up in the moment because it is a tough game. Even though things turned out right, it could result in your partner's last game, ever! A serious injury was/is a possibility when running hard and not looking where you are running to. I'm assuming by "seeded district game" you mean it will and can effect the outcome for playoffs. If, at the end of the year, the coach can say that he didn't make the playoffs because he got T'd for being close to the center of the court during a live ball then that coach can only blame himself.
