OldCoachNewRef,
You gave him no out. You baited him.
Know that criticism is not necessarily a two-way street.
You banged him and then should have gone to the table, "not hearing" his next comment.
Whether, or not, the guy earned two "Ts" is your call. You were there. He crossed your line, no one else's.
As far as his not knowing the rules, let him be. His assistant probably knew you were right. Call the game. And don't don't try to reason with the unreasonable.
We learn from experience. Next time you may do the same thing and feel more comfotable doing it, or next time you choose another tack.
Fun ain't it?

It remains a game.
