I have to advise you to get tough. All the unsporting behavior that you allowed IS truly unbelievable to me.
As for your stating that you wouldn't change anything... Well, if you don't begin doing so, you will not enjoy officiating in the future.
Lastly, never ever allow a player who has been DQ'd back into a contest!

I'm also on board with JR.
You have to remember that you are not "Taking the game" from his players and his team - HE IS!
If he wants to act like an idiot, he must suffer the penalty. IT is then HIS fault his team forfeits.
I had a similar not as bad sitch this year 5th grade CYO {what is it about us Catholics?} Both coaches griping throughout the game. The parents are now into the same act. I go to both coaches between quarter and tell them to get their parents and personnel behavior under control or face a "T".
One coach is a guy who I'd had before and gave him too much leash. The other gets my warning as I say, "I don't want to hear another word from your bench" 60 seconds later I T the assistant. Now the blabbermouth both shut up.
Lesson I learned - whent they deserve the "T", give it to them. It will save you trouble down the line.
