NW Ref, District III here as well...
Thanks for the comments everyone. My chief concern at the time was keeping my composure and not look like I had a personal vendetta against this coach, obviously hindsight and your helpful responses show me I shouldn't have let his actions go unpunished at that time.
I don't know if I agree the argument that an F bomb equates to an automatic ejection, but with the spectacle he was making as he said things, I can see that tossing him right away would have been the best thing to do.
Just spoke with the commissioner BTW and of course he said, "you should've tossed him." Sounds like the AD at this school has already received complaints about the coach and his behavior and doesn't need much more of an excuse to ensure he doesn't come back next year. I'm writing a letter about the events of the other night and sounds like he will be disciplined.
Again, thanks for the insight! Seems like I always have to make a mistake once before I learn how to handle it the next game...ain't this reffing thing great?
