You did a good thing by verbally starting your count to give him fair warning. IMHO your penalty/punishment should have been NOT granting the T.O. and awarding the ball to Team B. A turnover means that Team B still has to inbound, shoot, and score. Whacking the kid w/ a T is the "double whammy" - Team B shoots FT's to tie/go ahead AND gives Team B possession of the ball.
Save yourself the game changing problem...either don't grant the T.O.....or....grant the T.O. and get over your ego problem and pass on the T.
I'm sure 95% of others in here will say: "whack 'em".....

Not sure if you read my OP correctly, but A1 turns around &
shouts everyone heard it & looked directly at me like "oooooohhhhhh he told you".
I don't know about you but NOBODY shouts at me on my wood.
I can't understand how you think the verbal was a good thing?? I'll never ever do that again... what if the other team knew the rules & said I was cheating by giving the verbal???
Who said they were kids?
And why not grant a TO when my arm didn't click on 5?
Ego? You lost me, but thanks for chiming in.
