I would have hoped that I let the coach just talk himself out. What else can you say but "Can you let me into the room please?"

Dude, this is not a protest march or sit-in. This is not a Civil Rights issue. This is a person overreacting to an issue in a sporting event. This did not take place in a bar or in the parking lot which I might handle totally different.

That is fine if you feel that way. I do not agree with you that you need to get upset or act as if you are about to fight. There is a time and there is a place. This is not the time or the place to act like a fool and then it becomes a "he said, he said" situation. Now if you want to fight everyone in that situation that is your choice. I think you do not need to "lower yourself" to that level because you are confronted by a coach. At the very least, I would just keep walking and tell the coach "You need to get out of my way." But yelling and screaming back is not going to do much of anything. You still have another half to go.
