This league has rule you cannot press if you are ahead 40 points,the penalty is a bench technical. Also if the team down 40 points wants to end the game they can choose to do so.
The subs come on set up in full court press. The ball comes in bounds by Team B.
Whistle - Technical Foul team A! Coach- I told you I was going practice the press. My response - you did; but, I guess I forgot to mention I was going to enforce the rules of your league!
I know it was bit of baiting by not reminding him of the league 40 point rule: but, really 87 - 14 and you are going to press!

It's not a bit of baiting it's all baiting. I wouldn't recommend this at any level. You should have reminded him of the rule when he said it or just called the T and your response should have been to cite the rule (I would would have gone with option #1).
