I've become more of a talker under the basket. If a player as bad as you described sits high in the paint without crashing the boards or placing the defence at a disadantage, I would continue the verbal approach or even call the kid over during a dead ball and explain what I'm saying to him during the game. Size doesn't play a significant roll here. Once I've exhausted my preventive arsenal, I will call it.

I'm more likely to work with the players to avoid having to stop play for this violation. This is more like telling the defense to get their "hands off" or making sure everyone is in their blocks during a free throw.
