 He may be--consciously or subconsciously--feeling that the reed is too dry and that it isn't "sounding" properly, and thus he may be--consciously or subconsciously--trying to add water to the reed to make it easier to play.  Try having him soak his reeds not by merely dipping them in 1/2" of water, but by running water through the reed for a few seconds; this ensures that the entire reed is wet all the way up to the staple.
