I dont think any of us like a T here. Clearly the reason for it is safety. Why not give a foul and tell the coach. I warned him twice he kept doing it. I think a T hurts your team to much so I gave a common foul. Can you please have a talk with him.
Again talking its going to prevent this when you see it every 1000 games. I doubt anyone will have to make a decision on this.
I think we kick a lot more things much worse than this. It is an interesting discussion.

You actually see this often enough to have a standard approach? I've literally seen it once (maybe twice), and that was YMCA girls ball. The defender put her hand within an inch of her opponent's eyes. One warning stopped her.
I actually do like a T on this, because it's a safety concern. There's a reason we don't see it: it's not basketball. It's actually poor defense.
