We checked the home book and visitor book at halftime. Everything fit. Both agreed at time of technical that visitor was really down 4, and that the scoreboard, which displayed down 2, was wrong.
I warned the coach once that he needed to sit down and stop shouting. I figured that was enough and gave the T.
I did not give a T to the player, but afterwards was thinking that maybe I should have. I just warned him.
I just got a call from my assignor, saying the coach through another postgame fit, calling me "unprofessional, inconsistent and constantly out of position." However, he said this coach always says that about the officials when he gets a technical. Turns out I have another game with that coach this weekend. Assignor warned me that he is known to hold grudges and will most likely try to cause a problem. Great.

Okay, last piece of advice.
Don't use phrases like, "Sit down and stop shouting," or "I don't want to hear another word," when handling coaches.
Stick to, "Coach I need you in the box," or "I've heard enough coach." The enough is best used with the stop sign, so everyone sees that you have calmly dealt with the situation.
