2) Pull the kid who dunked aside and have a one-way conversation like this - "don't you EVER do that again! The next time I see that, you get a T, they get 2 FT's and the ball to start the game, and you'll be walking over to your coach to tell him he cannot stand during the entire game and tell him why."
3) Then prior to tip, I let the head coach know what his player did and how I handled it.

Of course that is not what the rule book says, but that is how I prefer to manage that situation. That's what works for me.
Are you serious?
Nor does he make a call that "decides the game" or "takes the game away from the players" in the last moments.

Find the courage to do it right.
