I'm with Jurassic on this one. Regardless of the situation, I would never make a flat-out wrong call on purpose.
My own personal rule is that I never, NEVER, tell a coach how to coach a game. No official should ever let a coach tell them how to officiate. It works both ways.
In this situation, a 6th or 7th grade game or whatever, if it is that obvious that he's running up the score by 50 points or purposely making the other team look bad, I'd do just as Jurassic mentioned...on that press, every time there's any contact at all, call a foul on the defense. When the other team start shooting the bonus 2 minutes into the 3rd quarter, the coach will get the message real quick, and you haven't "told him" how to coach.
In high school or above, however, I'd never do this. That's a level of ball that's high enough for the official never to "manage" the game.
