Sadly sometimes "boys will be boys", even long after they pass beyond puberty. Walking the lad over to his coach and explaing, to both, the potential consequences sounds like "preventive officiating" for both player and coach at it's highest level.
However, NF:9.8.1.b "attempting to influence a decision by an official" although listed as an example of USC by a "non-player" would also apply to behavior of players.
