AND, if I "T" him up, I have to write a report as to WHY I "T"ed him up. If he were winning, he would have gotten the "T", If it were a close game, he would have gotten it. but down 30, what's it going to do?

Let me see if I understand this, you let him carry on, being a distraction and disruption, flaunting the rules, acheiving unrivaled levels of unpenalized unsportsmanship all because...what? Because you decided to dig your heels in and not give him what he wanted? My children play that same stupid game too. I'm pretty sure they'll outgrow it.
Who the hell cares whether or not he wants it, and if he does, why. That is entirely not our concern. We are there to enforce the rules, and that includes penalizing poor sportsmanship when it happens. To not take care of business is to do a disservice to the game, to the players, to the other coach, to your partners, to Grandma Millie who came to watch little Sally play and has to endure the debacle you're allowing, to the crews that follow you and will have to work harder to clean up your mess.
Bottom line, he f'ed up your game, and you helped him do it.
