The wing officials should have said nothing, this is the difference between a good and great official. The reply was totally uncalled for, even the poster is second guessing himself on that point. If that is a warning I need to rethink how I warn coaches. I always thought saying, "coach that is enough," seems to be a bit more professional and gets the point across.
