I am a first year ref so obviously my game management skills are in a learning cycle. For some reason i expected better behavior from coaches. you know in the coaches offices there are all these inspiritational points to ponder about character and honor blah, blah. Then at the lower levels some of the coaches are just out of control. It is beginning to dawn on me the powers to be will let anyone coach these kids regardless of training, experience, education and disposition.
I don't feel the game got out of control-pretty fun game once he left. i liked the comment tolerance and patience can't fix stupid...

When you called the first Tee where was your partner at the time? Perhaps if your partner got their in time to be the "good cop" he might of been able to calm the Coach down then again the guy sounds like an idiot and got what he deserved.
Also after calling the Tee make your report quickly and get to the division line opposite the table and away from him. For the next several minutes if at all possible work trail or lead opposite the table to let things settle down. Try to avoid being the official calling the second Tee if possible (Don't have to do paper work LOL) however if you have no choice "you gotta do what you gotta do."
Above all remeber you don't give Tees. Tees are earned.
Sounds like you did the right thing. Good job.
