All I can say is to address the behavior first, then answer their questions if their behavior changes.

This took some time for me to finally get a good hold of, but I will not discuss any situation with a coach until they act like they have some sense.

I had a situation this weekend in a huge rivarly game that I had to handle. I told both coaches they needed to get back to coaching because I was not going to tolerate this all night. I told both coaches the same thing and they went back to coaching and the rest of the game was fine.

If you addressed the behavior first (it is also easy to say that from behind a computer) you might not have needed to give a T. Also having said that, I really have no problem with what you did. The coach was likely testing you and might have kept on no matter what you said. Take it as a learning experience and get better from this point on.
