Huh? Dude, go back to your rec league before you tell me what I would have done. Or get some professional help, which ever comes first.

You can pre-game this all you like, that is not going to prevent a coach from going ape sh!t.

If we can handle the situation without ejecting the coach, we are going to try. If the coach wants to air his concerns, he can air it to one of the non-calling officials. The non-calling officials job is to calm the coach and listen to the their concerns. 9 out of 10 times this works and we can continue the game w/o any ejections. In the one time it doesn't, we still follow our procedures and if we do it right, another official will signal the 2nd T.

I agree that ejection of a coach is not the first choice, but I am not afraid to pull the trigger either. Sounds like you are afraid to pull the trigger. If I am not non-calling official, I am not calming anyone down. I may say something to the coach to let them know I will give an explanation, but I am not calming anyone down for any reason. Also, I cannot think of any time where I needed to have a pre-game for this issue. Either you know how to deal with these situations or you do not.
Peace
