BballCoach, I would say first of all that you are very fortunate that you were allowed to see the second half. If you continue coaching, you will find that a word fittly spoken will got a lot further than a tirade and you will maintain the coaching box as well as the respect of the officials. Any official will usually welcome an intelligent, SHORT discussion or question on a particular point. Everyone makes mistakes but gently pointing them out works a lot better than beating them over the head with them. You'll be amazed how a correct interpretation will find it's way to the court.
As to your second half foul count, if I was the other team I would probably have come after you in the second half. When I do, fouls happen. A team often reflects their coach. If they play like you have written that you coach, they will not focus on the game either. Foul them, they miss the basket and time is not running. Consider yourself lucky to have won but congrats just the same.
