Like I said, it was not a typical game for me.
Those exchanges were all during dead ball situations and there is no way that the usual responses would have registered anyway. See the first exchange about reaching, with a real coach that knew anything about basketball, it would have ended after the not hitting anything response.
That exchange happened in the first quarter, the ad/dis was in the 4th. I pretty much ignored him in between, because nothing he said passed the Jeopardy test.
There were so many factors involved here that I'm still trying to figure out if a stop sign early would have made a difference, and in talking to the AD and assistant principle after the game, I really feel that nothing I would have done differently would have avoided the ejection, it just would have happened with time left on the clock.

Okay, that helps. I see now. You're used to a better grade of coach, with whom some conversation can be helpful. You went into this game giving him more credit that he lived up to, and he didn't rise to the occasion. Thanks.
