Sarcasm aside, TMN brings up a good point.

I'm guessing Mark knows this coach well enough to be able to joke like that. He's been around long enough to get that benefit of the doubt. I'm also guessing there were some prior incidents with the coach earlier in the game.

BUT....what would you have done if the coach reacted angrily and got out of hand? T'd him? How would you be able to justify that after not only baiting him, but condescending and belittling him in front of his players (and possibly others)?

This story's funny as hell, but the wrong situation, person, or alignment of the planets, and this could have ended with you filling out some kind of report.
