Since it was 0.1 and the game was decided (i.e., shooting a T wasn't going to change the outcome), going the way you did so as not to further inflame the situation may have been right. It may look better on the post game report that you weren't in a T-fest with this coach, that you were still able to exrcise self control and judgment when he was clearly not able to do so. Of course, he probably will be coaching the next game, which is the downside of not bouncing him. But a report to your superiors may result in further action, especially if your partner backs you now.

Spoken like a true coach. Coach V should have been in the locker room waiting for his team to come in period. I got burned at a huge camp because I didn't toss a coach. I was thinking "well I gave him one T." That is no longer an unwritten rule in my game. I would not give a coach two machine gun, quick, Ts but I have no problem giving a coach 2 and sending him. Everyone has their buttons and I have to swallow hard and agree with MTD and say I probably would have just sent him with the first one. We can all call the obvious stuff but what sets us apart is the controversy. You should have tossed him and had the commish on the phone before you cranked your car.

I am not sure why this is s
"spoken like a true coach." I am NOT defending the coach, nor am I suggesting that his conduct is not fitting of an immediate dismissal. I have NEVER behaved in this manner, nor would I. I do not condone it.
I am speaking like a member of the military who has been second guessed after action about what I should have done by people who never saw the situation I was in. I think it is easy to fall back on rules, when actual situations may lead you to a different conclusion at that time.
And since you want to draw inferences about what I said not based on its content, but rather who and what I am, I feel compelled to add:
Spoken like a ref who won't listen to anything a coach has to say because he is a coach and the ref already has decided to ignore all coaches.
I deal with some refs like that.
