address the problem
From what I'm reading, you never really addressed the problem.
I would have asked him something to the effect of, 'coach, what are you seeing?' Then, using your mastery of the rulebook, explain that the restrictions are different for players on the lane lines vs. the shooter and those not on the lane.
If he cannot understand or appreciate the rule and your knowledge of it, then you have three choices: ignore his ignorance, warn, or whack. If he's yelling across the court or being demonstrative, it's one of the latter two.
