A much younger (read: 1 year) me would have whacked him right away, but I understood his frustration because of the miscommunication or mistake, or whatever the #$% it was.
Once I've told him it's over and time to move on, if he continues to harp on that same situation, I don't hesitate to whack him. He's been warned. He chose to ignore. He suffers the consequence. I'm also telling my partners once I've told him it's time to stop, so that if he starts in on them, they can whack him as well. We're a team out there, and once I've warned a coach about something, I expect my partners to back me up, just as they expect the same from me. Coach gets 1 warning about a given situation, not 3.

The ones you even sort of regret are usually the ones you should have whacked.
