An 8th grader? I'd give him at least 1 T, quite probably 2. They have to learn somewhere. Let whomever is in charge of the touranment know exactly what happened and move on from there. I wouldn't bother with the coach at all. I assume this is some sort of weekend travelling team or AAU. These coaches are often whomever has the time to drive the kids to the games. They usually do not understand the relationsip between officials, players and coaches. I wouldn't let what a child said to you bug you all weekend. You are right. he is wrong.
