I have not personally had to deal with this yet, but my partner did handle the exact situation in a game this year - JV boys.
Partner calls a foul - awards two shots. Kid says he didn't touch him. Partner explained he "saw" a foul...told him not to do it again or it would be T. Didn't happen the rest of the game.
So, in essence, he called a foul (as he "saw" it) to give the kid a break and not call a T. I have no problem with how he handled it. I would also have no problem with calling a T as an unsporting act...i.e. faking a hit / strike / punch...whatever you want to call it. (Not exactly the same, but perhaps similar, to how you would handle a situation where a player drew their fist back and faked a swing at someone.)
Interested to hear how others view it.
