To "T" or not to "T" that is the question

If you told him in a professional manner, then I do not think it is baiting.

If in your judgement, his action indicated resentment with your call and subsequent explanation, then that is a bench technical. I really liked the advice the instructor for my class at IAABO gave about "making the game better". I think that is apropos to the situation you describe. The coach had a mini temper tantram on the floor. I like the call.
