Okay, this makes sense at the 5th grade level...not something to practice in a higher level (high school) game. Thanks...

The moment that the whistle was blown is what is referred to as a teachable moment. Yes, the coach learned his lesson. However, there could have been another teachable moment in which you could have explained the ruling to him. If you brought the play up to him during a dead ball or after the game, I'm sure that he would remember what you were talking about.
It doesn't matter that is was a 5th grade AAU game. Don't put the rules aside to explain a rule.
