I wouldn't like to be the partner that you ran across the floor and T'd up a coach for. Let's just say that. As for deserving the T, well you warned him. What you might have done is let it be for the moment, then the very next opportunity, talk with your partner.
Of course, if presented with that situation again, a nice way of handling it is as follows:
Coach: complaining about calls
Official to Coach: "Coach, that's enough. This is your warning. Please, coach your team."
Official to Partner (loudly so they hear, the table hears, and the COACH knows they heard): "Team ?? Coach has been warned."
You are not embarrasing the coach, you are communicating with your partner, and doing it this way leaves no room for misunderstanding either. JMO
