"I just flag it and tell the coach that he may want to take the kid out and let him think about what he did for a play or so. He has the nerve to say "You do the officiating and I'll do the coaching." To which I reply "Fine, I'll just mark off another 15 on your UC and think real hard about whether or not to sit the kid out of the game for you.""

Yuck. Why would you make ANY suggestions as to how to discipline the kids. I think the coach's response here was TOTALLY warranted, and you flagging him for it is extremely over-officious.
