Did they put the verbal warning in the book? No reason to give a "stern verbal warning" if you're not going to make it official.
Depending on the tone and gestures he used when saying "Are you kidding me?" (yelling across the court, hands in the air, etc.), there's a chance I would've given him his official warning there. Unlikely to whack him if that's his first offense (we're supposed to warn unless the offense is "major").
If he didn't get his warning there, he would have after continuing on following "We're done here."
I could do without the "D1 rebound" comment from your buddy, but that's just because of my personality. To each his own; the coach still has to behave.
Under any circumstance, he's not getting past "You're awful chippy tonight" without a technical foul.
