You can take a small amount of comfort here. When the game gets ugly, no matter what happened, most officials are sorry to see it end this way. We have, I think, a tendency in this situation to second guess ourselves about some part of the game, was this a bad call, was this call necessary, etc. When this coach continues the tirade you describe above, you are totally vindicated. This is no longer a gray area, since he is spouting his ignorance of the rules for everyone to hear. You did what you had to do, congratulations. The challenge now is if you have this team again, to start fresh and put the past behind you, and hopefully the coaches will do the same. (many don't) Good job and good luck.
