I would say you exercised more patience than most R's I know would have, possibly including myself. I might have flagged or tossed him for the first comment at midfield. I'm positive I would have responded to the "I guess we can't swear or taunt anymore. I wonder if we can even make a tackle anymore?" comment. If I heard that, I'd have likely said - No, coach, you can't swear or taunt EVER - not just anymore, and one more word about the officiating from you and you can find out if your team won from the parking lot.
And then if he said a word I'd follow through.
And I don't think of myself as quick on the trigger for ejections. This team/coach was WAY out of line - early and often.
