1) What you needed to do was make a safe call on the play at second. It isn't a routine play that doesn't need explaining. It is an unusual call, and must be explained. That's probably why the runner walked off the base thinking he was out, because he thought it was a routine out call. Anytime you have both ball and runner at a base, you need to make at least an arm signal, if not both signal and verbal call.
2) If the coach was complaining from the get go, he should have got going earlier. You should have shut down his BS a lot sooner. By the time you got around to warning him, he thought he could walk all over you. As far as the threat, did he try to meet you after the game? If not, he was just talking sh*t. Hey, if they feel froggy, start leapin' I say.
