I'd say you handled it well (OP). I think I'd hold back on whacking him and see if the coach addresses...along with my comment like "Coach, please control your bench. This is the only time I'm going to say it". MOST coaches are going to jump on the kid because they realize he could cost them the game due to his nonsense.
If the coach does nothing and doesn't acknowledge the comment, all bets are off and the very next "peep" from the bench is getting a swift T.
