"T-ponds", i like that. interesting subject for sure!
this is tough, as everyone has a different threshold on what they T and what they don't.
in the OP's case, i believe you did it correctly. trust in your partners goes this far as well. trust that when he saw the action that he did the right thing by talking to the kid about his action and that next time any such action will be a T.
slapping the wall or slamming the ball on the floor could quickly fall into this category. knee-jerk frustration reactions that aren't meant to be unsporting towards officials, but everyone from the opposing team wants to be a T.
sometimes you can give them the inch, and still not let them take the mile....
