Absolutely.
Each official talked to him. Had nothing to do with it being my turn or each one of us talking a turn. I talked to him after a call and my partner did the same, just happened that way. The rope was quite short after that.
My opinion only: You can't just toss out a technical at the varsity level without give a coach an opportunity to realize he's acting like a jackass. I'm used to working with coaches with whom normal adult conversation is possible, though, so his behavior WAS a bit surprising.
For me, it was just the right amount of talking and the technical came out at the right time and the game got better (at least from this standpoint)afterwards.
Howler monkeys are not part of my normal experience as I only work at the varsity level and only get one or two a season, so maybe I am a bit slower than some would've been on this board. That I'll accept.
