Definitely agree on letting him know what's proper regarding mic technique and working with it. Though the other side of me says if he gets some awesome takes flailing around and gets into the song, I say let him do his thing. Compression levels out some inconsistencies, right?
This is another thought but I also think of drummers coming to mind...I find it unorthodox or even rude to ask them "hey, can you move your cymbals up a little higher so I can sneak this microphone in on the snare drum?...etc" I've known drummers that were coerced in that situation and it actually became a problem from their normal setup when it came time to record. I also know drummers who won't move ANYTHING when it comes to micing the kit...so you have to be creative...
But drums are a different thing; I digress.
