Your partner probably should have gotten him when he was belligerent the first time, and definitely the second time.
By the time you got him your partner had warned him twice and you warned him once, and that is two too many, IMO.

I'm a nice guy, what can I say? I agree that maybe my partner should've given him the ole' Heisman the first time around, but he didn't so he wanted to make sure he talked with him before ringing him up.
I can't help it -- most coaches can be talked to and reasoned with at the varsity level and therefore some that can't be reasoned with get a little more rope than they should get. I'd rather it be that way -- when I write the report, it's clear that we gave him the rope, but he built the noose and slipped inside.
Truth is, most varsity coaches around know how to act, so it's a bit surprising when we get one that doesn't.

The only problem is when that happens in a close game and you give them the slack and the noose finally cracks when it hurts the most, late with the game on the line.

Hey, BZ -- he got the technical in the first minute of the second quarter. Maybe my slack really isn't that great after all. Honestly, I can't ever remember calling a technical in 18 years in the fourth quarter (or later) of a game.

Of course you may also find yourself stuck, not giving a T because it is late, and losing sleep wishing you had handled it better early.
Keep in mind that I'm not being critical of you, just looking at the situation in general, for those without 18 years under their belt.
