Never, NEVER, EVER touch the coach. Even if you know him off the field and you think this make calm him down (it won't). You will also add fuel to the fire of the opposing coach if there is a call later that goes against him. He WILL remember your arm around him and besides claiming it's a make-up call, the worse would happen - he'll doubt your integrity by you chuming up to the other coach.
Let him vent, (especially if your partner might have blown the call). Tell him he made his point, then get on with the game. If he wants to argue more, Then he's a goner !!!
