You go and call PC foul here, and before you know it, you have guys playing defense all game. We can't have that, now, can we?
As for what's in red above, you're not a coach. We can't make calls based on whether we think the kid made the "smarter" play; only whether he made a legal play. I can just see it now; "Coach, your kid was fouled, but I didn't call it because he hasn't made his free throws all night and he should have taken the three-point shot rather than drive the lane and hope for a tough call from the officials."
