He might be also communicating to the scorers booth so they can get the changes in the book. As for after the game, you probably knew he would be at this particular restaurant so why look for trouble.

Overall you gave him a couple chances to cool it, however he wanted to go the butt route and the dumping was deserved. In your report to the state I would also include what happened after the game. As far as what happened right after the ejection, I would not even address him. Go about doing what you need to and he will go away. If he doesn't then tell him to get off the field. However I would just walk away from him towards your partner. Your partner should step up at that point and go escort him off the field. If he persists in not leaving then end the ball game. It seems to me you ended it a bit too quickly, especially if he is just getting his parting shots. He was not cussing and really not over the line. His yelling may have been posturing to try and get his team fired up some. Him telling you that he did not want you back is not enough to forfeit a ball game in my opinion. Give him a respose of "not a problem coach" or "ok". Either way, ending the game is a last resort.
As far as football and basketball goes, I would let other board members in the association know there may be a conflict with him. Hopefully tho he is a big enough man to put the difference behind him and not let the other sports be affected. You 2 are "on the same side" there.
