Over the summer I work a few NCAA sanctioned events, lots of kids, lots of college coaches. One game a kid did that to me, just for the heck of it, thought it was cute, who knows. I told him it makes him look bad, not me, and please don't do it again. And then later he does it again! While smiling at me! Son-of-a-b1tch! In the next two minutes he had 3 fouls and a travel called on him. Funny how that works. And the recruiters got to see how good he looks sitting on the end of the bench.
I think being vengeful is exactly the wrong way to handle this. If he does something unsportsmanlike, assess a technical foul. But if you decide it's not unsportsmanlike, then don't look for fouls and violations to call that you wouldn't call otherwise. That's dishonest. Why not call the T when he did it the second time?
Vengance was not a part of it at all.
