K-Bach, welcome to the forum.
1. I don't think "close all the way" and "home team covers a 10 point deficit in the last 4 minutes" go together.
2. Is it your associations normal practice to go to the table after games? If not, I wouldn't.
3. Like Nevada said, the visiting coach should have got a T for his comments.
4. Depending on the game, I might have just tossed the kid for throwing the ball at the other kid. Search for two adults and 10 kids that want to be part of a basketball game. Eliminate all others - 5 whistles (fouls), 2 whistles (Ts) or one whistle (T).
5. IMO, if your partner was really backing every call you made he wouldn't have to take the brunt of the coach. If it is the second half he shouldn't be near the coach anyway. If it is the first half, he could show the coach the rear end and observe the players. The message is clear that the coach should leave it alone or show everyone in the facility that he deserved and earned a T (he really already earned a T).
6. When you are a ref, ref. When you are a coach, coach.
How long have you been officiating?
Where do you live?
