Agreed. The problem was, he addressed this himself when he commented that he'd considered whacking the coach for bringing it up. "I saw it from where I was, I didn't need to [hustle]." He basically made the call right in front of the coach on the other side of the court, and indicated to me that he felt no compunction to have been in position.
If he hadn't been so sure of himself, I'd have been able to address it appropriately. Maybe that was part of my problem with him; he didn't seem willing to admit he may have kicked the call.
Oh well. If I get him again, I'll look for the chance to talk with him about it. I've been doing this for 6 or 7 seasons, but it's been off and on and without much of a commitment until this year. So I didn't feel comfortable forcing a lesson on him.
