first name
I have to say in many of my games up here in Canada I only deal with Coaches by first name. They can use mine or call be blue whatever they want. But I believe calling you by your first name in this instant was a warning that you were going too far and about to get run. You just supplied him a reason. Also My understanding is you were of some distance from him not having an up close conversation. Therefore you said loud enough for many to hear "Call me Coach!" I can't imagine too many umpire that would not chuck a coach for showing him up like that.
You are challenging his authority by that statement, he showed you who has the authority. Learn from it and go on.
