[QUOTE=SMEngmann]I disagree that a stop sign is the right approach here, it gives the coach too much leeway to continue his behavior and test you. What the coach is doing here is directly challenging your integrity and competence as an official, and doing so loudly to the point where he's threatening to undermine your control of the game. You need to firmly establish who's in charge of the game right now and do it in a way that everyone in the gym will understand too.
If you read my post, I say that the stop sign is a FINAL WARNING. I do NOT warn more than once. I am NOTgiving the coach ANY leeway to continue his behavior. One more word now or at any further point in the game is a T or toss. I don't know what your STOP sign looks like, but I can assure you mine is something you will remember for some time.
