You've known this HS player for 17 years?

Let me guess - he's played the game his whole life.

He was born and raised in the town I teach and live in, had him in my class when he was in fourth grade, reffed his youth league games and now he's a senior, he's not a smart asz, all American boy who just loves to play basketball, he was actually telling me that he was the one that got fouled when the coach jumped on him. Thanks for the responses!

He's just another player. Too much "love and affection" in your post. What if the kid was a known jerk, would that make a whit of difference in your situation? If so, then you need to step back, IMO.
