Should I have taken (T'ed) the coach earlier - YES... I know that (I knew that) but, I just thought if I ignored it, I would have gotten better...
It's a problem I see since I get no respect (RIP Rodney) since Im the youngest official in my assc. (18)... I loved doing this when I was younger and decided to get carded because I wasnt getting any respect
now this happens
Thanks for advice...

Your being young can also work against you in this sitch.
You might even need to give out the "T" earlier just to get their attention. If they don't learn after the first, shame on them and adios.
I mentored a high school student/official the past couple years and she has gotten that respect from giving a technical when necessary (Not just willy nilly) and being professional. She got carded at 16 and most coaches thought she was a college student my her demeanor.
As a side note, my middle son (15) is a licensed volleyball official. Much less problems with ejections in that sport.
