Personally, if the kid has been "crying the whole game," why are you waiting until the 3rd quarter to address it? I'm not saying you should have called a T earlier, but there may have been a way to get him to "stop crying" way before this (two examples are going through his coach or going through his captain).

Usually, we can nip situations like this early in the game without a T. JMO.

This is the heart of the matter for me. Why wait until the third Q? I think this needs to be addressed at the first occurance. To quote Barney Fife, "Nip it in the bud!"

Don't let kids become an issue because you ignore them. Address problems and make them go away.

Great answer from Z.
