Jmo, but you're much better off to simply get away from an irate coach than approaching him and trying to reason with him. If he goes too far, warn him and then whack him. But at least give him a chance to cool himself down.

Hey, my short-armed friend. He wasn't irate. He asked the question, "Why wasn't there a 3 second call there?" A valid question, asked in a respectful enough tone. Why wouldn't I answer his question, particularly when I had to walk past him to get to the foul reporting area? And after I turned away, he didn't say anything else until he heard my whistle for a T. The T was on the bench, not him.
