Good thought process. I might warn the kid, then issue a "T" if he really does some major acting again, instead of calling a block on him (by rule, it would fall under unsporting conduct, though I've never actually called a T in this situation to my recollection). But I can't argue or disagree with your reasoning and what you're trying to do.
Oh, just a remark about the defender standing beneath the basket or behind the plane of the backcourt: Your statement actually fits with the NCAA (men's and women's) rules, but in high school it's still a legal position. See Casebook, 10.6.1D. Doing both levels of games gets confusing sometimes, trying to keep the slight differences straight in the particular game being worked at the moment.
