I agree with you JR. When my sons and I are shooting hoops in the driveway, and one of them make a long one, I signal a "three" and they come up and "high 5" me.

When my kids do that, I give them a T and send them to bed without dinner.
In the original situation, I think the ref was in a tough spot. If he doesn nothing, then some fan is writing in about how the refs obviously were biased and even high-fived a player to congratulate him. IF he T's, he gets raked over the coals as being an OOO.
My suggestion, look sternly at the player who gave him the high-five -- maybe even yell how that wasn't appropriate. Make sure the other team knows that you don't condone it -- but don't penalize.
