Intramural game last night, player goes up for a shot and thinks he gets hit. No foul was called and he proceeded to go back on defense, spinning his way down the court as he ran, holding his arm up in the air slapping it to show he felt he was fouled. When his team got the ball back, he continued slapping his arm demonstratively and looking at the official who did not make the call the first time. Next dead ball I told him to cut out the theatrics.

I think the warning in the at this time is fair. He was informed these antics would not be acceptable. I would have made sure to let my partner(s) known I had warned him as well.
I have to disagree with the comment in red. As the assignor I mentioned in the previous post would say, if he doesn't get a T now anything this guy does after this point is our fault because we didn't stop him the first time he acted up. If he gets a T for this and for some reason doesn't understand what it was for, then he truly needed to get it.

Let's think of it this way: if an NBA player making thousands to millions of dollars would get a T for this without a thought, why the heck should we let some guy in a rec league game get away with it?
