Should have whacked the kid!

[Stripes33]

Varsity boys game last night I'm the trail and the home team is losing by 6 with 3 minutes left in 4th quarter. Home team has 3 team fouls and is fouling to get to the bonus. Right in front of visitor bench and scorers table I have a foul on home team. I turn to report and see the offensive player toss the ball up into the defenders face, definately not an accident. I let the player know that we weren't going to have any behavior like that the rest of the game but the more I think about it, the more I think I should have whacked the kid. Any thoughts?
