Can a coach come out on the court in anger to address a ref at the end of a quarter?

Well, he certainly can if you let him! And the more you
let him the more he'll do it.
Assuming he's reasonably
civil as he walks on the floor then tell the coach you'll
be happy to talk to him but only if he goes back to his bench. Don't take no (or I don't have to, or just plain why) for an answer. If you simply walk over to the bench
he's gonna look pretty foolish if he doesn't follow you
(credit Mick for that one). Then ask him to calm down. Then listen to his complaint and give him an answer. Once
he starts repeating himself you're done. Don't debate.
No "yeah-but's". If he gets out of line (you'll know where that line is) T him. If he's yelling & waving his arms & carrying on as he comes onto the foor then T him up immediately.
