What is the difference between "strong steps" and "half charge". Was it two steps, three or halfway across the field. It matters. I can't tell from this description.
But to answer your question, and assuming he was left in the game, I would advise the HC that his player's position is borderline and any future display will not be tolerated. If he wasn't left in the game you would have considered this more severe than it sounded in your post and I would fully expect you to toss him and we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Critical to this analysis is that my partner does not know what happened behind him, thus I am assuming it was minor in nature, because I can't imagine me not knowing what a player who I have just called out is doing. You don't call 'em out and run.
It's an emotional game at times.
