Rainmaker, I understand the "get in, get done get out" approach. However, when, I am in a new environment this is when I be more assertive.
1. I want to let them know I understand the game and officiating
2. I want them to know that they will get a well officiated game with out regards of who is officiating.
I would have just penalized the behavior initially. If for some reason the coach still does not understand. I would have run the coach. It appears that the initial problem was there was a lot of foul, which would have been called if it was not for a time restraint. I ask we as officials be carefully on how we approach time constraints. Would it have been any different it the game went into overtime? I believe not.
Personally, I do not have a problem on running the coach. The way it was presented is you ran the coach, because of the jumping up and down on the sideline. This may not be the entire picture. JMO.
