I was about 20 feet from him, put out my hands so he could throw the ball to me and he hurled a fastball at me. I made no attempt to catch the ball and T'd him up. He nor the head coach could understand why.
Would any of you had handled it differently?
BTW, this guy is also the Headmaster of the school.

As soon as the assistant coach gets "loud," the bench is getting at least an official warning from me.
And anyone who "hurls a fastball" at me is getting a flagrant technical foul, but the fact that you gave a regular bench T is fine. Don't be fooled by the attempts of coaches to act oblivious; they know damn well what they're doing.
"Headmaster of the school" means nothing to me. You're on the bench, you get treated like an assistant.
