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.

I actually said "Coach, I understand why your upset, but that's enough." I read this forum enough to know not to say "I don't want to hear another word." 
And you can keep the advice coming. I always want to keep learning - if your not getting better, than your probably getting worse.

Glad to hear it. You emphathized but were firm, which is perfect. Everyone that saw/heard the exchange saw a calm professional and a childish jerk, and that is how we always want it to be.
