tmp44,
Yes, my partner did back me on my decision, and we discussed it on the way to go change. We were in agreement that it was warranted and that, in light of the coach's failure to leave the field following his ejection and his threats toward me, calling the game was the right thing to do. We both felt he was given ample time to leave the field, and simply chose not to do so.
Again, thanks everyone, for your advice and help. It will help me be a better umpire and handle situations like that better in the future. I understand that many feel I may have pulled the trigger too fast on calling the game, but in that situation I felt it was the right thing to do.
