When he accused you of cheating, you said he was stopped and speaking quietly, but no matter. Even if he was walking away, toss his ignorant, classless but.

You don't want to look aggressive? Fine. You don't have to use the "big finger" toss.

"Excuse me, coach? You're done for today. You need to leave the field and facilities now."...all said in a calm manner and normal tone of voice. If he gets excited and turns on you, who is the agressor?

Don't make excuses to keep a coach who has decided he wants to leave the game. When you do, you just make matters worse for the next umpire.
