I worked a JV game once where after the game a player did a very disrespectful thing to me, but the point spread was such that the shots would have made no difference (in fact 100 shots probably wouldn't have made a difference, since the otehr team wasnt hitting anything!). I passed on the T. I should have called it, though, and called it flagrant which I would have if that same act had happened during the game. If I'd done that, the player wouldn't have been able to play in the varsity game, or in the next JV or varsity game, either. As it was, there was no penalty at all for her disrespect. It sounds like the OP is similar in this case. There would be consequences even if the outcome of the game wouldn't be changed. In that case, I think it needs to be called, regardless.
