Crying!!
About ten years ago, Daryl "The Preacher" Long and I were officiating a pool play game in the Michigan AAU Girls' 18U National Qualifier and I called a girl for a charge (she litereally ran over the defender). When I called the foul on her she disagreed with my quite strongly, to say the least, enough for me to whack her. When I whacked her she started crying. I am a very mean person.

Exclamation
I spoke with one of the assignors for this league this morning and he told me he had that same team last week and the same kid fouled out and started crying! He said he was thinking of going over to him and telling him "There's no crying in basketball", but he figured the kid wouldn't have a clue as to the reference, and probably his parents would take offense and he didn't need that.

Let his teammates mock him.

He would probably start crying. Surprised you didn't take your partner aside to teach him the Frankenstein mechanic.
