Calling someone a bigot doesn't make you a bigot. If it does, then you're a bigot, because you just called the coach a bigot. And I guess I'm a bigot because I just called you a bigot.

This is circular reasoning.
Again, it doesn't make any difference whether the guy is a bigot or not. No one is saying he is or isn't. THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. It's a racist remark, based on the reason he called him a bigot.
